Very Thankful!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This year we have a lot to be thankful for, and friends and family top the list. Luckily we were able to spend a lot of time with each for the holiday. On Thanksgiving Day we spent the day with my family and shared a delicious meal at my parents house with several members of my extended family. I have such a wonderful family and it is always special and a lot of fun to spend time with them and catch up! My cousin Beth brought a very cute craft for the kids, pine cone turkeys. Levi had fun making his and is very proud that it is on display in our house now. My camera died about 30 minutes after we arrived...so I don't have many pics :( I stole a few from my sister though :)

That evening we stopped by Philip's Dad's house to see his sister and her kiddos and Allen's girlfriend and her daughter who were in town as well. Levi had a blast running around with his cousins during the quick visit and Joel got lots of love from his cousin Kynlee as usual :) I had to work on Friday so Philip and the boys had a calm (well... as calm as can be with two busy boys!) day at home.

Joely Poly is getting pretty good at pulling up...yikes!

 On Saturday we headed out to the Boyer's long time friends the Oldhams' ranch for a second Thanksgiving. We shared another yummy meal, a quick hay ride and some wild time in the house (7 kids ages 7 and under!). Unfortunately the weather was cold, wet and windy, so we were not able to go see all the animals like we usually do at the ranch. Levi was pretty dissapointed, but had a blast running around the house with 4 other little boys (a change from his usual girl dominated days). Thank you Oldhams for another nice time and the ranch!
