Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving for us this year was a blast!  I can't think of anything better than spending several days in a row with family!  We did lots of cooking, lots of laughing, lots of playing and lots of crafting!

All the cousins are so grown up and they played so well together!

We've got Keaton on the top left, he's 6 and his sister is Kelbie, she's 4.  Then Mason is 8, he's holding Tessa (such a great big cousin), and his two brothers are Haden, he's the blonde headed 4 year old and Rylan, the adorable 2 year old in front.  And of course, there's our two, Parker 4 and Tessa 2 :)

And here's the Smith family ready to open early Christmas presents!

And the Black family!

Grandpa and Grandma Karen gave Santa a run for his money ;)

We spent some time at the nearby lake

and lots of time chillin at home

I got to spend lots of time with Parker and the kids outside...I was thankful to have so many sets of hands to help us with Tessa so we could easily divide our time!

sweet little Kelbie giving us all a good laugh!

No doubt Tessa's little heart is FULL!  She got some precious one-on-one time with each of her aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Here she is with Uncle Kyle

  

And Aunt Lindsay

Some snuggle and playtime with Grandpa

Parker had lots of fun with Rylan, he's a good big cousin :)

And here's where the crafting comes in...Hillarie and Lindsay had such great ideas of how we could spend some time together...having fun and making beautiful creations!

It wouldn't have been possible without the boys though...thanks to Kyle and Donald for all your hard work with the wood!

All the big kids playing UNO!  Mason did a great job helping everyone play!

 Here's Tessa and Aunt Hillarie sharing sweet moments

 And some much needed time with her Uncle Donald ;)

 The holiday was complete ~ and we had lots to show for it ;)

I am so incredibly grateful for the memories we continue to make each and every year!

Thanksgiving 2012 was a great one and we feel so blessed!
