Thanksgiving

We were able to go to Idaho on Thanksgiving day this year. It was nice to be able to spend a day with my family just relaxing, visiting and of course enjoying Mom's amazing Thanksgiving dinner. 

My cousin Terry "flew" by! I haven't seen him in years
and my kids and Jake thought his plane was pretty cool.

The "grandkid" table. 

The food was so good, Jake couldn't even stop eating for a picture. HaHa!

Cody's first Thanksgiving. He loved the sweet potatoes and pie.

Blake and Brittany are so cute with our kids. Cody loves snuggling up to Uncle Blake.

This year we decided to participate in Operation Christmas Child. I had each of the kids pack a shoebox with presents for someone their own age, then we delivered them to the church and was even able to track the shoeboxes.
They ended up going to children in Mexico. It really helped the kids to realize how blessed we are.

The day after Thanksgiving the kids helped me put up our Christmas tree.

I put out these stuffed christmas decorations in hope that Cody would leave the tree alone.
Didn't work out as planned.
