A Time for Thanks - 2011

Thanksgiving weekend began with loading up the car with the kids and greenbean casserole and heading up to Fort Collins. Nonnie and Pops recently completed the renovations of their house and it was fun to all be together to kick off the holiday season. Payson and Dillon were thrilled to enjoy their turkey with both Nonnie and Pops and Grandad and Nana, and of course their cousins!

The Kitchen was a busy place for a few hours leading up to our meal!

Even Dillon was ready for some turkey.


The turkey turned out great - Pops, Daddy and Uncle Ryan all had to examine it when it came out of the oven.

The Kids table at a little before the adults, this allowed us to send them off to play while we ate. I though there prayer time was too cute not to capture!


Payson and Susie loved their Rudolph noses, and then had a blast playing with all of the Dress Up Clothes!



After dinner the lightening was perfect for some family pictures on the lake. Even better that Daddy, Payson and Dillon had on matching shirts.





Call me crazy, but Aunt Emily and I met at Kohl's on Black Friday at 5:30am. Honestly, it was a great time to shop. We got a ton of good deals. That afternoon we treated the kids to a trip to the movies - The Muppet movie was a hit for both kids and adults!
