Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was with the Graves family.  We had everybody there.  It is so fun to see the cute little cousins playing together.  Ridge has a train playing partner in Hadrian.  Brynlee has girls to color and primp with.  Tucker and Kyleigh find all sorts of adventures.  Katelyn and Payton spy on Tucker and Kyleigh.  Every single one of the kids adores Alma and she can show them all up with her Ipad games, which they love to watch her play.  My personal favorite was when Tucker, looking all sweet, put his arm around Alma, then coyly tried to take the Ipad away.  She would have none of that. GG and Gpa have a little crawl space type storage area that the kids think is magical.  They spend hours under there.  It helps that GG has stored some of our old toys under there to make it even more magical. 

 

Besides good company we had good food.  GG made the works for Thanksgiving dinner.  And that was just dinner.  We had dips, chex mix, and about a million other appetizers.  When it was all over we ate pie and then started again with leftovers. 

 

Thanksgiving day there was a backyard football game to get all the energy out of the kids (and Dads).  When all else fails there is always Gpa's helicopter to entertain the kids (and Dads).  We also went roller skating and to the outer limits fun zone, a new Pocatello favorite.  To top off the weekend we had an early Christmas with cousin presents.  They drew each others names and got to open the gifts when they were together.  Every single one of them loved their gifts. 

 

We ended our time together with family pictures.  The photographer did a great job.  I'll post those later.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
