Snowy Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Stillwater with the Holbrook's on Friday.  It was a snowy trip to the Twin Cities again!  Logan had fun playing outside and we all had a good time relaxing.


I didn't take many photos, but the boys had such a cute kids' table for dinner, that I had to get a picture!
My mom had special plates for the boys and we made their placemats.  The tablecloth was a remnant that they got to color on with crayons and marker.  The idea would be that they would sit longer at the table with an activity, but that didn't really work!  Dinner was delicious!

We went back home on Friday evening to enjoy the weekend in Eau Claire.  On Saturday, our good friends, the Exsted's came over to spend the whole day!  The kids had a great time playing together and it made us wish we all lived closer again.  We went to get Christmas trees at Lowes Creek Tree farm.  I couldn't get my camera to work, but Kyle (a budding professional) took some great photos you can see on their blog.  So check it out!

The big boys (Caedon is 8 months older than Logan) had a ball!  They loved their special little table.

The little ones (Norah just less than two months older than B) sat at the table with the parents...next time they will want to sit with the big kids, for sure!

Jen made these adorable cookies for dessert!  How cute and yummy!

After dinner, the kids ran around like crazy!  It was so entertaining!

Once Exsted's were on their way, we jammied the boys and brought in the tree!  The tree is up and we will decorate this weekend!

Logan, of course, wanted to help every step of the way.

The fun continued on Sunday with some Young Life leaders and kids at our house.  Then on Monday, our friends visited Eau Claire to close on their house.  While Rachel and Joey were out, I watched Brighton and Lorenta.  Logan and Bennett loved having Brighton around again and we're looking forward to May when they move here!
Logan kept reading to Brighton - it was so cute!

Whew...its been a fun, busy, crazy week!
