End of a Perfect Thanksgiving Weekend

We finished the Thanksgiving weekend with a great in home dinner.  It was wonderful having the kids all here for four days.

Celebrating Austen's 2nd Birthday

Since Austen's birthday is in one week, we decided to have a birthday party.  The theme was her favorite character, Olivia.

Caught tasting the frosting.

Harper helped with the wrapping.

The doll laughs and wiggles.

Love the dolly!

Fun playing outside.

Favorite pass time of going up and down the stairs.

Thanksgiving Weekend Fun

We headed to the park.  It was very cold so we did not last long.

Decorating the Christmas tree on Friday with traditional pizza and watching Christmas Vacation.

The Grandchildren put the angel on top of the tree.

Somehow decorating has become the job of the women in the family!

Thanksgiving Weekend

The special bonus for Thanksgiving was having the girls and their families here for the extended weekend.  It gave us lots of time to have fun, decorate the Christmas tree together and enjoy the grandchildren.

Tired after a busy day.

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with 44 of our friends and relatives joining us.  We had family here from Iowa and Louisiana.  It was a very special day that we will always remember.

Table set.  We sat 30 in the basement family room and exercise room.

Almost all of us.  Jason, Taylor and Alexandria had left.
