Family Dinner

After spending much of Thanksgiving week at Don and Cindy's house, we were able to have the whole crew over to our house for dinner on Sunday night.  It was the last night that Grandma and Grandpa were in town, so it was nice to all be together again.

Landon was still loving all of the extra attention from everyone....

And at the end of the night we were able to snag a few more family pictures (looking our best in our sweats!!).  It was a great night, and a great week.  We definitely have a lot to be thankful for, and love this time of year!

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day was more hanging out like the rest of the week...no complaints here.  It was super relaxing for me.  My kids literally disappear when they are around cousins, and they have so much fun.

Grandma brought Miley some of her rock collection, and Miley was thrilled to check them out.  In between looking at those, doing some reading with Grandpa, and playing on dad's computer, there was still more time for more pool, foosball, and ping pong (of course).  And Landon was in his own little dream world with all the cars!

We had a wonderful dinner....I mean, Thanksgiving is always great, right??

Then, after we were all thoroughly stuffed, and before the guys headed out for a bit of Black Friday shopping, we were able to get a picture of the whole group.  So happy to have such wonderful family to spend the holiday with!

 

Thanksgiving Week

This year for Thanksgiving, Cameron's parents were able to come up and see us, and Cameron's brothers's family.  It was the first time they had been here in two and a half years, so we were happy to finally get to show them our new house, and just to have them here after such a long time!

They stayed at Cameron's brother's house, so we spent most of the week over there.  There was lots of relaxing, playing pool, foosball, ping pong, and of course, eating!  Miley and Landon loved getting to spend so much time with their Grandma and Grandpa and their cousins and aunt and uncle!  And thank goodness for me, I got all of my father-in-law's awesome pictures to use!!

Halloween Wrap Up

Halloween was fun as usual.  Leading up to Halloween, you have to sport the Halloween clothes as much as possible:

Miley was able to wear her costume a little early for her costume parade at school.  I think it is so fun they still do this at her school. because so many schools don't anymore.

That evening we got both kiddos ready.  I couldn't seem to get a "normal" picture of the two of them....they were definitely getting into the character of their costumes.  :)

After asking about a million times if it was time to go trick-or-treating, we were finally able to meet up with all of our neighbor buddies to make rounds.  Fortunately this year, Cameron didn't have school, so I was able to stay in the nice warm house and hand out candy, while he took on the cooler (literally, and figuratively....) job of taking the kids around.

After they had made their way around, and had a few treats, it was time to wind down and get their monster pajamas on.

I can't believe Halloween has already come and gone.  Where is this year going?
