Thanksgiving Cont'd

What happened to the days when we couldn't wait to get dinner dishes all cleaned up so we could spread out the Black Friday ads and start working on Christmas lists?  Gone - they're gone!! 

Jessi stopped and did buy ONE paper (after she found out the cost was $5 - really????) and we glanced at the ads but that was about it!!  I had my shopping almost all done already with just a couple of gifts to get and the others had a little shopping to do but not like most years!  One reason is since we started celebrating Christmas EARLY up at Estes Park it makes you buy your gifts much earlier - we celebrate Dec. 7th and 8th this year so I started ordering gifts online at the beginning of Nov.!!

This is what the guys chose to do most of the afternoon and part of the next day - work on a drill?


Rayna was heading out to Denver mid-afternoon to see friends up in Denver so we took our family pictures early before she left!!




Evan's hair apparently kept getting in his eyes so who knows who tied it up like this but I think he'll appreciate this picture someday - ha!!


One of our traditions is for me to play Thanksgiving Bingo with the little ones!!  We use cheerios as markers so they can all eat them - this year even Gwynnie could participate!!


Jill and Jessi put together an awesome jigsaw puzzle!


Leftovers and pie for dinner that evening - YUM!!


And a group picture with all of us!!  Jaime didn't have a great day but we coaxed her outside to get a picture!!

What an awesome Thanksgiving!!!!
