Thanksgiving Thankfulness!

This year for Thanksgiving we spent a few days and my parents house. They are only about 40 minutes away, but since we were the only ones coming this year and Ragnar was off of work, we decided to make a real mini vacation out of it. Thanksgiving day was yummy as always and we had really nice weather. My mom and I did a little black Friday shopping and we enjoyed hanging out with my parents and sister. The kids love spending time there. On Friday, we spent the morning taking a couple family pictures. My mom took some for us and I saved the best ones for the Christmas card....but here are a few I thought were cute.

I feel like these were engagement pictures! Haha...I think I like them better than our engagement pictures!

Our little sweetie!

Like Father...like son!

Ok are they spitting images of each other or what?!?!


This is just a silly candid one but I thought it was kinda cute

My little buddy

Ella sure loves her dad...and she is always striking a pose

I took this one of my dad and I love it :) He looks handsome!

And here was our three Thanksgiving buddies. We sure are lucky to live close to them and are indeed VERY thankful for them and for all they do for us!

And to top off the Thanksgiving weekend, we got WONDERFUL news.......THE NBA LOCKOUT IS OVER!!! Ragnar woke me up in the middle of the night when he found out with a huge fist pump in the air! He was so excited to have something to keep him busy at work again and to be able to do what he loves. He was like a little boy waking up on Christmas morning when he got ready for work on Monday! It was a huge blessing for us that work will continue and he will have something to sell! We continue to have lots to be Thankful for!
