This Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Grandma Cindy's house in Nampa. We spent two fun days with Grandma and Aunt Kresta eating and decorating.

Since Grandma isn't a big fan of cooking we were treated to Thanksgiving dinner Marie Calendar style! The great thing about eating out for Thanksgiving dinner is that there is no clean up! No piles of dishes, no hours of cooking, and cleaning while everyone else watches football.

Highlights from the trip include:

*No dishes after dinner

*Aunt Kresta wrapping Gabby in her coat with her because Gabby was cold.

*helping decorate Grandma's house for Christmas. Braden had a blast.

*the kids snacking all day on Grandma's good stuff

*taco dip

*apples to apples

*Ally and her sticky notes

We had so much fun with Grandma. Kresta cracks me up with her wit and innocence. She says "I love you mommy" whenever she knows she about to be in some hot water....reminds me of Ally a few years back who would always say "I love you" quickly after getting into some kind of mess.

Thanksgiving seemed to sneak up on me this year. Actually this whole year has seemed to really fly by. This Thanksgiving I was keenly aware of how grateful I am for my family. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people in my life.
