Happy Thanksgiving!

We had the pleasure of hosting Thanksgiving this year and my dad, stepmom, brother and his family came to visit. 

Laura spoiled the kids with all sorts of great toys and treats. This one was popular, dinosaurs that shoot bubbles and make extremely loud noises...lol - notice we are outside! ;)

 Cara got in on the action!

 Hunter was a good boy and decided to catch up on his chores. Have I mentioned how much of an angel he is lately?

 Awe, love my Dad!

 Guess how many takes it took to get a cute pic of the kids - too many thats how many!

Hunter didn't get the memo to sit next to his cousins.

 Hunter fell backwards and apparently the sun was in there eyes.

 We moved and 50 takes later we got it! How adorable!

 Smiles all around with Grandma Laura!

 Dad was in charge of holding the beers while we were rounding up the kids for pictures - he gets an A+. Well done Dad.

 Steven and Cara - great pic!

 Not sure what they are talking about, seems important though.... 

 After playing outside it was time to get to work inside on dinner. Mike smoked the turkey in his smoker outside and it was AMAZING! I am pretty sure I made enough food, eh? Lol. I learned that from my Mom. P.S. Nice photobomb by Steven...

 More turkey anyone??

 The next morning the kids snuggled on the couch watching cartoons. Cara, Laura and I went to Fred Meyer and hit the Black Friday sales. We got some good stuff and had a lot of fun together!

 That evening we went downtown, there were all sorts of activities going on. First, we hit up the reindeer. Hunter was in awe!

 "Reindeer Mom!"

 Then we went to watch some of the kids dance groups perform in the window of the State Farm building - one of my favorite buildings downtown. The kids were so stinkin' cute! Look at the girl, she just sat there while her friends performed, eating her lollipop watching the crowd...lol.

 Trying to get another picture of the kids by the tree downtown. And once again Hunter isn't staying where he is suppose to...lol.

 A few million takes later we got it!

 Johnson's!

 My family!

We had a great time and were so happy to have everyone come visit. Sorry it took me so long to post this, but it was worth the wait right?!!? :)
