Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was such a great day! The kids slept in and I made some warm, delicious Monkey bread. Then we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on tv while snuggled up together. We had a late start, so it wasn't long enough before we started getting ready for our family Thanksgiving at the Richardsons.

Carson has a pretty big family and we all have such a great time together.  The cousins are all so close and I love that they get to grow up together!  We were missing four cousins today, but we'll all see eachother on Christmas.

Thre boys are way outnumbered, as you can see.  Owen sure loves these two guys that love to play "crash cars" and Xbox with him!

Carson's baby sister, Janesa, was in town from San Fran!!  I have a bunch of pics of the adults and will include them with my next post. 

After a fantastic Turkey dinner, the kids went out back to make a volcano erupt with baking soda and vinegar. 

Owen played in Uncle Justin's flower pots and was building a pirate ship.. "is that cool mom?"  He also played in the pool and got "fopping wet." 

The girls set up blankets out back and painted eachother's nails for about two hours!  They were listening to music on the iPad and singing along.  The rest of us ladies spent that time upstairs while Janesa did make-up.  Janesa works for MAC and is a fantastic makeup artist.  So it's always fun to get new tips and to find out what's new.  She showed us the new wrinkle filler and I am buying it tomorrow. 

Owen loves to play football and he had so much fun with Daddy! I caught Sam (the beagle) eating Owen's nerf football in the loft... which is why there is a chunk of ball missing.

Here's our little family photo.  We had such a fun Thanksgiving and have so much to be Thankful for!  This is the second recent picture where Kamryn looks taller than me. 

We took down our fall decorations today and started decorating for Christmas by putting up the tree!  I usually love Black Friday shopping, but there was nothing I needed this year.  Instead, we are spending our "black friday" relaxing in our pj's and watching Christmas movies counting down the days til Disney!!
