Thanksgiving 2009

We started off Thanksgiving 2009 like we always do, with a Fab dinner at my Grandma's house the Saturday before. It's always such a great feeling, it's the first 'holiday' gathering, delicious turkey, family and Pictionary! For the Thanksgiving holiday, we head up to Sean's mom's house! We had such a fun trip! The kids absolutely LOVE it up there! And they love their Nana to pieces! Here's some pictures from that trip. (I forgot my camera for Grandma's Thanksgiving!) These are not in order...Every year, the day after Thanksgiving, we go hunting for Vickie's Christmas Tree. After awhile, Kaihla decided to stay in the truck, I think she had just as much fun!
She's crazy...it was snowing and she insisted on driving with the windows down, and her head out the window (Don't worry, I was right there, and it was on a back, back road, going about 7 MPH)

Our Thanksgiving turkey!!



Shad and Kaihla helping Daddy around Nana's house




He loves to help! (I'm talking about both of them) Sean raked up most, if not all of Vickie's pine needles and put them in the burn pile


Baby it's cold outside...bundle up!


So what do you do once you have tons of pine needles...burn them!! The kids enjoyed watching the huge fire




What do they say...'The family that gets dirty together, stays together!"


We went quadding, I had Kaihla with me, and I was freezing. We were on our way back home and there were some huge puddles...Sean went right thru them, getting completely muddy, I gracefully tried to go around...and as you can tell by the looks of us, that didn't work!! Next in store for us was a HOT bath!!


Kaihla quadding with her Nana (Obviously before the mud!)
