We headed down to Holden Wednesday afternoon to spend the rest of Nick's birthday and Thanksgiving with Nick's family. The kids were super excited to see their cousins, Papa Bear and Grandma Karen!
We had sloppy joes for dinner and enjoyed some Birthday Cake and a game of Bingo! It was a fun Birthday Party!
We stayed up way too late talking and got up way to early, but it was super fun. Most of Thursday morning was spent making pies, side dishes, and putting Thanksgiving dinner together. Kaylee enjoyed licking some of the pudding beaters. Can you tell?
Karen makes the most amazing pies! Oh, and did I mention the rolls? Yum! The kids enjoyed playing while we finished making dinner.
Jerid took extra pride in the turkey....making sure it looked just right! 
We enjoyed dinner very much. It always takes hours to make Thanksgiving dinner, but only a few minutes to devour it! But it was yummy!! After dinner the kids went and played outside and enjoyed the very nice sunny weather. It was crazy how warm it was! It was very enjoyable.
Thursday evening, we enjoyed some left overs and another game of bingo!
Friday before we headed home, we enjoyed visiting with family and friends. It was a very laid back Thanksgiving. No black friday shopping (just one purchase from amazon.com), just lots of family and pie! 
We made it home Friday evening and then enjoyed a fun day today with just the kids. We took them to see the new Muppets Movie, set up another Christmas Tree downstairs, had Manicotti for Dinner, and then had movie night at home watching "Christmas with the Kranks". It was a fun day! We are so thankful for everything we have. For our beautiful children, wonderful family and friends, for our home and for Nick's job. We are so blessed!
