Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving fun started the week before Thanksgiving.  My mom, Natalie and I went to southern California for a women's conference and we brought Landon back with us.  Andrew had the week of Thanksgiving off school and he was so excited to have Landon visit.  The vacation didn't start out so well with lots of traffic on I-5, but the boys occupied themselves with a lot of videos.

We stopped at In N Out Burger and there was a huge rainbow in the distance. 

Then it was a week of Foosball, movies, fun with Grandma, bounce houses and more.  Even though they were exhausted at the end of each day they still stayed up late chatting away.

Ryan and Mandy came up on Wednesday, the same day that Natalie and her family left for Las Vegas.  I was making a salad and dessert for Thanksgiving and Claire really wanted to make something so we decided on cupcakes. She iced them all by herself, well maybe with a little touch up help :)

Landon, Isabel and Mia made colorful name tags for everyone.



The final touches on the turkey, stuffing and potatoes - I love Thanksgiving dinner!

Danny created a lovely vegetable garnish for the rolls.



This was the best shot we could get of everyone.

Grant enjoyed his turkey, sweet potatoes and green beans for a while and then suddenly threw them all on the floor.  So fun!

Landon really likes the drumsticks so Andrew followed suit.  They quite enjoyed them. 

Some after dinner play time while the adults cleaned up.  We love to see any or all of our cousins, so a fun time was had by all.
