THANKSGIVING 2011

This year for Thanksgiving we went to see Nick, Amy & Hailey! They live in AZ now and since Amy is pregnant and ready to pop they weren't going anywhere, so we went to them! It was fun to spend the weekend with them and see their new house. We left Wednesday and came home Sunday so it was a long weekend and the kids really had a great time playing together! Amy (with a little help from Geoff and Nick) made a delicious Thanksgiving dinner! Amy and I got to do a little Black Friday shopping which was great and the weather was great for it! Of course we have a little extra insulation right now so that might have helped. :) On Saturday we went to the mall to see Santa and nobody was there (not for Santa anyways) so that was awesome! Geoff and Nick watched the kids so Amy and I could go have some girl time (aka go watch Breaking Dawn) which was awesome! We were so glad to be able to spend the holiday with them and had such a great time! Thanks to Nick, Amy & Hailey for letting us come visit! :)

Amy made delicious breakfast breads for us and even made the kids their own fancy pumpkin muffins! They mostly licked the cream cheese frosting off. :)

For an afternoon snack Amy put out some fruit and veggie trays and the kids went crazy over that! They sat at the table forever munching on it... even the veggies! The adults enjoyed it too of course. :)

The kids were upstairs in Hailey's room CRACKING UP so I went up with my camera right as they decided to come down. They were at the top of the stairs and when they saw the camera they all started posing and saying cheese. These are my favorites from the whole weekend just because it made me smile...

Aedan has been totally into superheros lately. One of them is Iron Man and he's seen most of the movie (we fast forward through some of it) so he talks about it a lot. He came over with his plate and said "I'm Iron Man!"

Our YUMMY Thanksgiving dinner!!

The kids loved visiting Santa! We also stopped at one of those coin operated merry go round things and went to their play area so the kids could run around for a while and play...

Cali was singing "Row, Row, Row your boat!" and rowing. 

Cali realized she was in the coils of a snake. Haha.

We watched the Santa Clause movies and at one point we looked over and Aedan & Hailey were holding hands. It was pretty cute!

The kids wanted to go outside and play in their little fenced area. We told them to put shoes on before they went outside and when I peeked out Aedan was wearing Geoff's shoes and Cali was wearing mine. We got a laugh out of that. :) They loved drawing all over everything with chalk.

I told Cali to smile and she gave me this face!
