Thankful

What a great Thanksgiving weekend we had!  

I always love Thanksgiving weekend because we get so much time off and there really isn't any stress for this holiday...maybe that's because I never cook - lol!  It's a great chance to spend time with family and get started with Christmas decorating :)

Chase had the whole week off of school so Craig's parents were nice enough to watch him for us on Monday and Tuesday.  He was so excited to spend the day with them and Hads!  Wednesday he stayed home with me and I only worked a half day.  We started off the morning getting donuts before dropping Brady off at school :)

 After working in the morning, Chase and I headed to an afternoon showing of Frozen, it was soo cute!

 

The kids enjoying time together over the long weekend!

 

All smiles in the early morning hours on Thanksgiving :)

 

After a relaxing morning making breakfast and playing at home, Craig took the boys on a bike ride for a few miles while Hads and I stayed home and made some potatoes to bring over to his parents!

 

 We tried to get some family photos before heading to Craig's parents but Brady wanted NOTHING to do with it!  We took what we could get :)  If you ever wonder why we have so many more photos with Hadley...it's because she doesn't fight with us - haaa!

Her 1st Thanksgiving!

We are so thankful for Hadley's amazing babysitters!

 

Enjoying the nice weather we had....Craig trying to get Brady interested in baseball :)

 

Ashlyn and Marae sure do love their baby cousin.  

They do such a good job playing and taking care of her!

 

Unfortunately Brad and Melissa's family were all recovering from a horrible flu and Jill & Don's family were leaving for Mexica a few days after Thanksgiving and didn't want to risk getting sick so we had to split up Thanksgiving.  So we spent the afternoon with the Carpenter's and the evening with the Hoeltings!

 

 

 

Jill is such a fun auntie :)

 

So thankful for so many things in my life but above all my family, friends and all of our health.  A few days before Thanksgiving we went around the table and we all said what we were thankful for.  Chase said "the army, Mommy for growing us in her belly and that all of us are healthy."  Brady said, "my baby Hadley."  Made me realize we are doing some things right ;)
