Thanksgiving Break!
We had a relaxing and fun break. Let me tell you it was hard to get back into the swing of things yesterday!! Maddie missed school because she was supposedly sick and we ALL slept in this morning, so Morgan missed seminary! Hopefully by Friday we'll all be back to normal. I just wanted to highlight a few of our activities the past few days..

Maddie at her Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast:

Our Turkey's that were cooked on the Tragger Grill, YUM!!!
Partaking of our fabulous meal:


Continuing on with our tradition (as of last Thanksgiving) buying the 25 cent mustaches after seeing a movie...
Eating leftovers at Grandmas the day after Thanksgiving, hanging out with cousins, and squeezing into the linen closet that they used to hide in ten years ago... Sad how fast time goes. All five of these girls squeezed into the closet just to reminisce about the good old times!
Last Saturday we went with several families in our ward to go cut down a Christmas tree in the National Forest. This year there was so much snow!!! We loved it! We had a huge snowball fight, made snow angels, and got our tree. It was great, it even snowed while we were there. We were all soaking wet and tired when we got home.

Now I am surrounded by Christmas boxes, laundry, and a dirty house. Yikes!!! I got my work cut out for me this week. Hope everyone had a great and blessed holiday!!

What fun for your children to have such close cousins and so many good memories of them together. The tree chopping and snow look fun. We have had absolutely no snow here in Denver. We can't believe that we've had weather in the 60's several timjes since Thanksgiving. We need a little snow so we can be that beautiful Colorado Christmas like the song describes.

Your kids are so lucky to live near all their (or many of) cousins!!!
