Giving Thanks 2011

Dinner #1 @ Grandpa Neal & Grandma Ruth's house.
Nathan and Jayden had fun playing before we headed down the road for dinner.


Nathan introduced her to technology.


Paper is fun!


Spencer played with a cell phone while we waited for food. 


Taylor and Jared both fell to the lure of a post-turkey nap.



Dinner #2 @ Ross & Carla Truesdale's house.
Anna ate first, she was starving. 


The table was set with Carla's beautiful Fiesta Ware. 


Anna and Jayden were both dressed in their cute Thanksgiving outfits.


The kids kept themselves occupied with the many toys. 


Steen and Pierce wrestled and played until the food was ready.



Jayd fell in love with their little wood rocker. 


Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without at least one meltdown.


The boys were just chillin' on the couch.


Spencer was our kitchen helper.


The dogs were pathetic as they looked in on the festivities with longing.


Steen helped Asher bond with Bandit.




The feast was awesome.


Chowing little children.




Thanksgiving should be celebrated with the wonderful people that you love, friends and family.



Some post dinner sword play.



After dinner games.


Black Friday lunch stop @ Red Robin.


Yeah, a balloon!


More Mac'n'Cheese please.





Bundled up outside of Target.




2012 was a year to celebrate blessings.

Spooky Days in 2011


Jayden was Supergirl for Halloween this year.


My favorite part of the costume was the combination of John Deer boots and BabyLegs leg warmers. 


The crew having a break at Anna's after trick-or-treating.


Asher was clowning around.


It was a fun but crazy mess at every house.


Jayden got to ride in her super stroller the whole way.


Pierce had a blast tackling all the other kids. 


Devon was the angelic helper for the evening.


Anna was mooving right along at Asher's side.


Cute as can be in pink.


Candy?


We stopped by Mike and Carolyn's to see Piper and Mckenna.



McKenna and Jayd were both a little unsure of each-other.


Spencer was grounded and didn't get to trick-or-treat with the crew but he handed out candy and had a great attitude. Next year he'll be there to hold Jayden's hand as she walks the candy route.
