My brother is in Iraq for another 6 weeks. So to break up the last stretch of his absense my sister in law, Jeana packed up 3 kids and came to visit. It was a great Thanksgiving treat. Now they can head home, prepare for Christmas and New Years, then he will be home the first half of January!
We made turkeys one day. There was all kinds of goodness to decorate them with. Lunch wasn't a big success after the activity. It seems more candy got in tummies then on the popcorn turkey balls!
This is cousin Seth helping Ella with her turkey. Tyler and I took Seth skiing one day. It was SOOO cold- as in, 9 degrees cold but it was his only chance and it was only for an hour and a half.
Grandpa took all of us to the dinosaur museum at Thankgiving Point. It was a huge sucess.
We could have stayed for longer but the adults were tired and hungery!
Tyler got to hang out with Cousin Spencer. There are 5 cousins all about the same age and when they get together they have fun.
Ella and Sophie had a great time. Ella really is happy in this picture, I must have just caught her at a funny point. Both girls didn't take naps for 3 days and wow, they were done by the third evening together! Too much fun!
We also spent Thanksgiving in Logan with the Balls family. I love Skype. We talked to Ranell in Minnesota, and Jason and Whit in Florida. My parents and Renee were in Washington having Thanksgiving with the Allen's and the Thomas's. I will be there soon!

Having cousins the same age makes holiday gatherings even better! I think I should try the popcorn ball turkeys next year rather than the oreo ones. I think I ate more treats than the kids used for they turkeys!
Yay for cousins! Looks like a great time!
Looks like fun! You'll have to tell me more about the dinosaur museum and if it's worth the drive for me to take the boys to. (Maybe in a few years when they're older...)
you are a great aunt! thank you :)
