This day of thanks started out with all the cousins getting a chance to see each other for the first time in several months! It was the first year where Kyler actually played with his cousins and had fun, and then came home remembering everything about them and begging to go to his cousin Micah's house over and over!!
Aunt Audrey planned for the kids to get to churn their own butter for our thanksgiving feast and Grammy's homemade rolls! They had a lot of fun doing it and they made A LOT of butter!
The famous fruit turkey for appetizers! I had lots of little helpers this year to assembly our turkey!
Kyler and Micah were buddies the whole week (can you tell their related at all;)
Sweet baby Luke! His FIRST Thanksgiving Dinner! Such a cutie!
We headed back out to play in the leaves while dinner was being made! Camden LOVED the little trampoline- Thank goodness Santa knew what he was doing this year;)
Eliza is the oldest cousin and our little gymnast and was showing all the cousins how to do tricks!
Making a pile for jumping in!
1...2...3... Throw!! (This is when I was REALLLLY wishing I had a nice Nikon camera that I really want now- these pictures could have been captured so much better with a better quality camera- one day!)
This was BOY Heaven...leaves, dirt, rakes, rocks...Grammy had it all!!

Jason holding baby Cole- so sweet!
TuRkEy TiMe!!!! YUM YUM!
Every year we switch families for Thanksgiving and Christmas so when we spend Thanksgiving with Jason's family we usually do an early Christmas with the cousins and sibling exchanges! The kids were so excited to open presents with their cousins Thanskgiving night! Kyler just learned about dinosaurs the week before we left for Cali so that's all he talked about for days...hince the excitement of getting a T-Rex from his Uncle Tyler and Aunt Lynnsey!
Camden loved his Dinosaurs from Uncle Tyler and Aunt Lynnsey too!
Aunt Kali is showing Kyler how his Dino grabber works! He still loves this toy;)
Thank you Uncle Kyle and Aunt Kali for my Toy Story Rex Dinosaur! LOVE IT still today!
The highlight of the night for my boys...a BIG Buzz Lightyear from Grammy and Grandpa! Kyler has been asking and wanting one for weeks and was so so excited to get one from his grandparents! And what Kyler has...little Camden has to have too;)
A couple days after Thanksgiving we planned to get family pictures taken as a whole! After our family pictures, we went out to lunch together to this mexican food place!
We were so lucky to get to be there for baby Cole's blessing day and it was such a special day for the whole family! Since that was our last night, we had decided to spend it together and give Rex and Terry their gift for christmas from all of us...they were so excited to receive a special bank account that we opened with money we all contributed to go towards their Alaskan Cruise we want them to take this summer! Well deserved;) They were so surprised!
The clan hanging out on the last night:( It's always so hard to leave after such a fun time with everyone! Thanks to you all for catering to us and letting us spend 11 days with ya!! We love ya and miss ya tons!
