Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time at Grandma and Grandpa Parsons new house in Monroe.  It is big and the kids ran and ran and had a blast and the men lounged and watched sports and more sports, the women crafted, Brailie had her first taste (and hopefully only taste) of dog food, and we ate and ate and ate.  Here are the highlights:

A sneaky little elf named Allie

On Friday afternoon Greg took Allie and cousin Rylee outside to play in the snow.  First I looked out the window and saw Greg making a snow angel, then next thing I know, I saw this:

I am shocked she made one too.  The rest of the kids saw how much fun they were having and though it was cold-everyone headed outside.

Looks really cold to me.

Doesn't Nathan look so cute in this picture?

These two were really good playmates.  Rylee stayed behind with us on Friday when her parents and everyone else went out to the stores.  She and Allie had a wonderful time playing.

Time to head in and get warm

Speaking of getting warm, my kids love having their clothes off-especially Allie (I have no idea who she gets that from :)) This picture was on Grandma's window sill.

And Grandma came up with the funnest game of all-bowling.  The kids had a blast with her.  Everyone took turns and the noise level was through the roof but they loved it.

This turned out to be a hit too.  We were sitting at dinner on Friday night and Kinsey was not really wanting to eat her dinner and I said, "Kinsey I will have a noodle race with you" and so we both got a noodle on our forks and I said, "marks, get set, go" and we tried to see who could eat it first.  Well pretty soon all the kids were joining in.  Turns out it was a big hit the next morning at breakfast too.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great Thanksgiving weekend.  We had a great time.
