Thanksgiving 2011

We had a low key Thanksgiving this year. We didn't have any family here and Trevor worked at 2pm so we ate early.

We signed our Thanksgiving tablecloth and read the signatures and blessings from last year. It is fun to see it filling up.

I thought about not cooking all the traditional foods since it was just us but in the end I couldn't cut anything from the menu. It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving dinner without it!

Trevor said it was the yummiest Thanksgiving ever. Smart man.

After Trev left for work we decided it would be fun to get out the Christmas boxes and put up the tree.

We turned on some Bing Crosby and "decked the halls".

Thanksgiving 2010

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had! Most of Trevor's family (we missed you Leslie and Ty) drove up on the icy/ snowy roads from Utah to Washington. We were so happy they got here safe and sound.

The girls were in heaven. Sleepovers with cousins every night! They stayed up way too late and would set the alarm to wake them up in the middle of the night to have "midnight parties".

We spent a lot of time making and eating yummy food. It was Thanksgiving after all!

Kim was the balloon queen. She shaped swords, poodles, viking hats, and so much more out of balloons. Great entertainment!!

Davis loved the turkey place holders we made.

Making the Thanksgiving fixins'.

Davis didn't even make it through the prayer....

One of the days we drove out to some "windmills" by our house. It was awesome to get right under them. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was HUGE.

We had to do some four-wheeling to get there and we pulled a guy out who was stuck on the way home... Trevor was in heaven.

Davis slept some more. Ate and slept. Ate and slept.

The girls made our traditional chocolate mint covered Ritz crackers.

Trevor put his new 4-wheeler to use and pulled the sled around behind our house. The kids had a ball. I even went for a ride.

They would come back frozen so we enjoyed a lot of hot cocoa.

Here is a picture of the whole gang in front of our "thankful tree".

And Kim giving her mom a piggyback ride. :)

Jerry brought his projector and it was so fun to watch movies on the wall. Better than the theatre!

The girls were creating new "plays" everyday. Even Megan acted them out (go Meg!).

The above picture is of the "ticket taker"... love it. These girls are so fun.



And more eating...

I will never forget this Thanksgiving. I truly felt love filling our home as we enjoyed just being together. I'm so grateful that our loved ones made the long drive to be with us. It meant so much. We miss you already!
