Thanksgiving

I was in charge of keeping the kids entertained while Thanksgiving Dinner was being prepared.  The weather was beautiful, so we played outside in Nani's playhouse, sandbox, and teeter-totter.  I also took the kids to the park.  I also helped the kids make "Give Thanks Turkey's", which I forgot to take pictures of, but they turned out cute.  Brady is Thankful for:  Family, Cousins, Food, Wii, New Mini Van, Friends, and Sports.  Logan is Thankful for:  Jesus, Family, New Mini Van, Cousins, Grandparents, Toys, and Food.  Clark is Thankful for Mom, Dad, Brothers, Cousins, Toys, Food, Grandparents, and Naps.  All of Vance's Siblings were in town, and that meant all eight grand children were together, so this year we had a kids table.  Tutu and Papasan, and Amanda (Germania's Sister-in-Law) were also there.  It was fun to be together, and see everyone.  I am so thankful for my husband, boys, extended family, new mini van, good food, house, and of course our Savior!  We had a great time, and the food was good!  Thanks to everyone who made this a great Thanksgiving! 









GIFT EXCHANGE
We decided to do the Christmas Cousins gift exchange over Thanksgiving since everyone was together, and Lynleigh and Whitney would not be around at Christmas time.  Brady had Quinn, and Brady gave him a Batman cape from Mexico, and a penguin toy.  Logan had Abby, and Logan gave her a princess journal with a lock, bracelets from Mexico, and nail polish.  Clark had Avry, and Clark gave her a Mexican sun dress, a snail toy, and another outfit.  Brady got a star wars gun, and magic tricks.  Logan got a remote control helicopter.  Clark got a fire truck.  Stacey also gave all the kids some books.  Everyone was happy, and we all had a fun time.








It was hard to get a good picture of all eight grandkids because they are all so little!
 So this is what we got!

I asked Logan to go to the bathroom and get his pajammas on, so that we could go home and get to bed!  I didn't hear anything for awhile, so I went to check on him, and this is what I found!  I guess he had too much fun today!  We tired him out!
