Thanksgiving 2010

Wow, I am at post number 200! I really need to get my blog turned into a book....or a few! Anyway, we don't have a lot going on, but I wanted to update our Thanksgiving festivities. We spent Wednesday and Thursday night over at my parents house. My brother Corey and his family were there, and of course my sister Natalie joined us. We had a nice dinner and it was nice to be there together. Stephani made some great pies and my mom always does great on dinner! As for me...I helped out where I could. I really wish my other brother and sister could have joined us, but we look forward to that at Christmas time. Corey and Steph wanted to go to Harry Potter number 450 so we gladly took a break and went with them. It was entertaining.
Friday I shopped a little with my mom, but I am not a big shopper so I didn't see much and we didn't go early enough to fight the real deals, we had a good time looking though. Saturday our family put up our Christmas decorations. It didn't take long because we don't have many, but the kids love to decorate the tree. We then each took a child on a date. I went with Ella this time and took her to the Disney movie Tangled. We both loved it. Ella is so emotional though, on the sad parts she would bury her face in my arm and cry and the happy parts she would smile and hold my hand and say...oh that is so sweet! Um...is that normal for a 4 year old! I hope I don't have a lot of girls, because I think we will have enough emotion in her little body. We went to lunch and had a good time. Cavin and Ragnar went to lunch and did "boy" things Cavin said. We had a relaxing weekend and were so grateful Ragnar had 4 days to enjoy with us.

This is how the boys spent some time together this weekend!
