Great Grandma

Great Grandma Doris and Johnny made a great pair during the long Thanksgiving weekend!

Ballet

Bonus post for today: Family trip to The Nutcracker last night! Like last year, we received free tickets through school.

John was captivated as the red curtain rose. He did a great job on Mom's lap. I was too tired and kept asking to go home to bed. I sat on Dad's lap and laid my head on his chest the whole time. We lasted until intermission just like last year. Maybe next year we'll actually see the whole thing!

Thanksgiving

We had 12 adults and 6 kids at our house for Thanksgiving. Dad had one request: Stay out of the kitchen while he was finishing the meal prep. Instead of listening to him, we stuck the kids' table in the kitchen and had craft time while he was cooking!

Our crafts that Cousin Kristy brought over.

Six cousins on the couch all looking in the correct direction!

Half the cousins following the silly face instructions.

Waiting

Watching the snow fall and waiting to go outside...

Buffs

Our family had conflicting plans the weekend before Thanksgiving so Mom and John went to a brunch party and Dad and I headed over to Boulder for the basketball game!

 

 

Lefse

Erin came over the weekend before Thanksgiving so that we could make some lefse for Thanksgiving dinner. When it came time for Thanksgiving, Dad forgot to take it all out of the freezer! Or was that on purpose? 

Taste test!

Little brother is a big lefse fan, as well!
