Thanksgiving 2012

We enjoy spending Thanksgiving with Brian's side of the family in Minden, NV.  This was the first year that Grammy and Grandpa were hosting and Sharon and Brian were in town from Chicago.  We were hoping for snow but no snow this time. 

 

Brian and Sharon in the kitchen.  They did a lot of the food along with Grammy.  I was mostly grunt work and clean up which is fine by me.  I'm a crummy cook.

 

 

Mayci came over to hang out with the kids.

 

 

Brian ... opening wine.  Must have wine to cook a proper meal, right?

 

 

Setting the table.

 

 

The kiddos also pitched in to get the tables ready.

 

 

Place cards.  Her handwriting is so cute.  Of course she had to put a heart on is as well.

 

 

Mason's handwriting is getting better and better.  MASON ROCKS!!

 

 

Gosh, he's cute.

 

 

Brian and Tom.

 

 

Kyla tearing up a turkey leg.  Yumm-O.

 

 

Time for dinner.  Here's a photo of some of the family.  I'm not sure why I didn't take a picture of the kids table.  Brian and I finally got moved up to the grown ups table.

 

A Special Card from Mason

The cute card that Mason made for us while Abby was over.  Love this.

 

 

 

 

 

Special Card from Kyla

Abby came over to stay with the kids so Brian and I could have a date night and we came home to the cutest cards from the kids.  This one is from Kyla.  Smile.

 

 

 

 

 

Mason at Disneyland

Mason and Jack have been friends since they met at preschool at age 3.  Even though, they've never lived in the same town, they've remained such good friend.  Jack's mom and I have made a good effort of getting the boys together as often as we can.  Well, Jack invited Mason to Disneyland for his birthday.  Can you believe that?  And, they flew down there which of course, Mason loved.  Teri (Jack's Mom) sent me photos during their trip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, they had to visit the Lego Store.
