Give Thanks!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, as usual.  It was our turn to go to Chantry's side this year.  We went to Grandma Irva's house.  Of course yummy food and good company.  I did not take any pictures, but we sure did have a great time.  We spent most of the day over at Grandma Irva's and then I was scheduled to work a short shift from 4-6 that day, so we headed over to Chantry's moms so I could work. 

Friday, the boys headed with the Brindley side of the family to go get Christmas trees.  I had to work.  (so grateful I can work wherever, so I didn't have to travel all the way home and all the way back, I just worked from Marcia's house).  The boys came back and had so much fun and found a beautiful tree. 

Friday night, we made snow globes.  The kids loved it....and even Chantry made himself a snow globe.

Channer's turned out sooo cute. :)

The kids love playing computer games over at Grandma's house.

Grandma sang the kiddos to sleep
 Saturday, we headed out to Pine Lake again for those who didn't get a Christmas tree to find one and for the kids to play in the snow.  Channer got to drive us the whole way there.  He did sooo good too.  Chantry hardly touched the wheel. 


There was not a ton of snow, but we found a pretty good little kid sled hill and they loved it....Channer would come down and run back up as fast as he could.






 Chessy got to drive on the way home...but he fell asleep. 
We had a fun mexican dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Wiley's house on Saturday night.  That is a fun tradition they have started. 

Sunday, we met up with our friends, Marcus and Keshia, for breakfast and then headed home.  It was a fun time had by all.  I just love Thanksgiving and love that the holidays follow quickly after.  It is sneaking up on me this year and I have not even began to start shopping, but I still can't wait for Christmas and New Years and more time with family.
