Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! It was strange for me not to be able to really eat much because my stomach has no room. The kids and I made Grandma Nancy's overnight salad and Grandpa Glenn's sweet potato casserole. Brayden also helped me make a Sweet Potatoe Pie that was amazing! My parents didn't have as many people as they normally do, but here we are eating dinner... Mandy's sister was visiting and she looks so much like Mandy! She is in on the left.



Sean played football with the stake that morning and then we watched the parade...
After dinner, my brother left to visit his in-laws and so Katelyn and Brayden were the only kids. That was ok though. They made some Indian Hats and colored some Thanksgiving pages. We talked about the 1st Thanksgiving and then Brayden broke out the Play Dough. He played for almost an hour and a half making all kinds of "goodies" for everyone.




Katelyn decided she wanted to hang out with the "old" people so she hopped on Grandma's lap to play dominoes.



I on the other hand spent the afternoon making flannel pajamas for my nephews that we drew names for Christmas. Then we helped my mom get their Christmas decorations out. Katelyn was so excited she couldn't contain it. Her favorite thing is to set up the Nativity Sets. She loves to cuddle the Baby Jesus. There has been so much talk about it lately that Brayden says the puppy he sleeps with is named Jesus. haha... I love kids! They are just so much fun!
