Holiday Rewind--Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Sidney, NE with my little brother and his wife!

It was so much fun, and they were wonderful hosts, as always :)

Thanksgiving Dinner! Brandon showed that turkey who was boss...

injecting, cooking and carving!

The Packers got a WIN, and then we ate :)

Barrett wanted only veggies!

After dinner we walked over to the high school football field to work off our dinner!

The weather was beautiful!! Notice Brandon in shorts and t-shirt!

The next day is snowed! Crazy, Nebraska!

This picture just cracks me up! Jenn trying to block Charlie from tackling Barrett! Haha!

That evening, we went to the park!

As usual, Justin and Brandon had more fun that the three year old!

The next day, we went to visit their CUTE coffee shop/bookstore!

AND of course we went to Cabela's!

LONG drive home! Made better with the iPad!

Thanks for having us, Brandon and Jenn! 

We love visiting you!

Our 2010 Thanksgiving was full of family, food, and a little birthday celebration!

We spent Thanksgiving day in El Dorado with my Aunt Clara and her family. We were so happy to have Mamo there with us, but missed having Uncle Rick and Aunt Deb with their clan, and both of my brothers. Holidays just aren't the same now that we've all grow-up, got married and started our own families. We're spread out around Kansas and Nebraska now, and it's just not as easy to have everyone together all the time. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to that.

Barrett enjoyed some "wine"...

On Friday, Justin had to work, so Barrett and I hung out at home. I had a little work of my own to do. That afternoon, Brian, Sarah and the girls got here. Barrett had fun playing with his cousins. We had dinner at mom's that evening and celebrated my birthday! Loved all the help I had with my candles!!

On Saturday (also my 31st birthday), we had our Thanksgiving with Justin's family! Justin's brother was in town, so we spent most of the day at his parent's hanging out with everyone. Kim, Kylie and I crafted...making adorable and easy messy flower headbands and pins. Emily and Barrett played Wii, and Jeff and Justin played football.

Kylie modeling one of my favorites. It was cute on her, so I let her have it :)

That was our Thanksgiving...

and now I am 31!!

Turkey Day Flashback

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. ~Psalm 107:1
