Thankful!

We have a lot to be thankful for this year.  Our kids, our health and a finished deck renovation make the top of the list! We had a few couples over for a dinner last weekend to kick off the holiday!  I made an appetizer and macaroni and cheese casserole and Ryan smoked a turkey!  It was by far the best turkey I have ever had!


 The next day we had Ryan's parents over to do some Turkey crafts, fish and cook!

That night we had our first big Thanksgiving at Ryan's brothers house.  Uncle Jared and Aunt Catherine are in Paris now so it was nice to celebrate all together before they left.
 I signed up for the kids Thanksgiving celebration at school.  They were so excited and just proud to have me at their school.

The next morning we loaded up and headed to my parents house.  My Bonus Mom always has new toys ready for our visits.  This time she restored an old armoire and filled it with dress up stuff for the twins.
 Ellie tried it all on!


 For the thanksgiving meal the next day we went to Grandma Linda's house.  The kids (and us) love it there.  So many fun things to do and toys to play with!
We all went four wheeling, gator riding, horse back riding, zip lining, jumped on the trampoline, chased chickens and much more!
 We had to make the kids take a break to eat though!
 There is something about being wild and free in the fresh country air that is good for the soul.  These two strongly agree!








 Grandma Linda's house is just a happy house...no other way to describe it!
At sunset Ryan and I took a long ride around the neighbors cotton fields which was one of my favorite parts!
