Thanksgiving



Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  Our family is most thankful for all the family and friends that we see and interact with everyday, and all the family and friends that we may not see daily, but love and care about a ton!!!

Really we are so fortunate and love that we could spend the holiday with people we care about!!

Delaney said she was thankful for her Mommy, Daddy, Kenna, and Cam.
 And she can't take a picture without asking for a "pose."
 Makenna is thankful for her family and friends.
 Camden was thankful for the zoo.  I think he was trying to be funny, and he really is a goofy little guy.  But all he said was, "I am thankful for the zoo!"
Here are 3 of the things I am most thankful for in my life!!!

 
 We went to Christian's parents this year to spend the holiday.  Reegan is our little niece who is nearly 11 months and just as cute as can be.
 Probably the best picture I have of the 4 grandkids yet!!!  It will only get better!!!

Aunt Amy, Reegan and Gigi.
 The boys hanging out (by the bar?!?! any surprise??)
 
Pat always does such a great job decorating the table and the food is always amazing! :) 
 After dinner, Delaney and Gramps played on the little computer.
 Daddy and Kenna had some cuddle time.  Now, you know I love doing cutesy hairstyles on the girls.  This happened to be the very day that I just had it with Makenna's attitude and had to tell her I would not do her hair.  This was VERY upsetting to her. She was devastated, which I knew she would be.  She loves to have her hair all done and cute!!  Well, needless to say it was a really rough morning and most of the day for Makenna (many days have been lately) and Makenna was "mad" at me.  Here she is warming up to Daddy and finally happy!!!  It took until dinner!  She was still mad at me though!  Sometimes being a mom can be tough!
 Reegan.
 Smily baby!
 Dominos after.
It was a great Thanksgiving!!!  Then, that nigh was onto Black Friday shopping!

We are Thankful for...

For Christian and I, it is so easy to know what we are thankful for. This picture (even though it is minus one kid) shows exactly what we are thankful for. We have beautiful, healthy and happy children and we feel so fortunate and thankful for this!

But what are these little kiddos thankful for?
Camden is thankful for, "the two towers at preschool." Okay.....not really sure about that, so I pressed further. He also is thankful for his mommy, daddy, sisters, ball (even though it's been missing for 4 days!), Bolt, dinosaurs, and football.

Makenna is thankful for, "My family and all the friends I know."


Delaney is thankful for her backpack (she carries it everywhere!), her Acorn (it's her Zhu zhu pet she carries around everywhere that she named Acorn) and Baby Eeyore (one of the 10 Eeyores the girl has!
This was the year we have Thanksgiving at my parents house because normally Grandma and Grandpa are there (sadly they weren't able to make it this year....hope you are getting better each day Grandma!). We did visit Christian's parents earlier in the day for hors d'oeuvres.

Then we headed to my parents where the Farmers, Nanny and Gramps and my parents were. the kids were HYPER! It was like a big wrestling day!


Of course we all had to look at all the Black Friday ads.
After dinner, the kids crashed and needed a movie.
It was a day to spend with family and we loved every minute of it!

1st grade Thanksgiving

Makenna's class invited friends and family to watch them do a little Thanksgiving puppet show and sing some songs. Here is the class waiting patiently for the guests to show up.

As Mrs. Reese read a story, the class held up the correct puppets.


Then the class sang some songs, Makenna's favorite, "Albequerque is a Turkey." See Makenna?

Neena was able to make it and they shared some pumpkin pie.


This is Makenna and her good friend Shea.

Thanksgiving

We are so thankful for so many elements of our life (family, health, love, so so much!).

Makenna:
I am thankful for: my home, food, Mommy, Daddy, Camden, Delaney, bear, dance, coloring, Mrs. Mellow (teacher)

Camden:
Bolt, Ball, Daddy, Makenna, Makenna, Delaney, football

Delaney:
(and I swear she actually answered!) Eeyore, Daddy, Mommy, Kenna, Cam-Man, fork (we were eating at the time)

Christian:
I am thankful that so many people love and care for our kids and that I have a good job.

Kerry:
I am so thankful for our family. I am thankful the kids love school, family and friends. I am thankful we have stable jobs and a home. I am thankful we have wonderful people to take care of our kids.

For Thanksgiving we were so thankful to spend the holiday with family. This was the year of the Taylor's, so we had our feast there, but we did manage to stop by the Ward side too.

Look, just a coincidence, but Camden and Logan were wearing the same shirt! Delaney wasn't feeling her best this day, but she sure loves when Daddy holds her (in case you don't know, she is SUCH a Daddy's girl!)

Makenna and Daymon

We barely got to see Nanny and Gramps

Then it was off to the Taylor's.

Makenna was sure to show everyone what she wanted from the Black Friday ads.



Camden and Gigi played some piano.


So huggable!



After the meal, the kids set up their tree.



I hope everyone else had a nice Thanksgiving spent with loving family and friends!
