Thanks for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was with my family - who all happened to be in Utah. Yay! We started the morning with yummy turkey pancakes - stretching our stomachs out for a full spread Thanksgiving lunch. Sadly - this was the only turkey the girls ate all day. :)

A quick picture of Mieka's turkey for preschool and the turkeys that Annika's made in the past. Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, and Tinker Bell. :)

At 1:30 we made the journey over the river and through the woods to Marianne's house.

Family enjoying a super duper yummy dinner!

After dinner we relaxed and chatted. Lois brought some very cute little Build a Bear Kits for the girls to make. They thought this was the greatest thing ever! Almost two weeks since Thanksgiving and both girls are still carrying around and sleeping with their pets. Thank you Lois and Scott! That was their highlight of Thanksgiving. :)

Mieka with Hoppy the Bunny Cheerleader - Goooooooo Build a Bear! Yay!

Annika with Spotty the Cheetah - so chic!

After dessert the family either chatted, played games, or watched football. And Dave knitted. :) He's become quite the master of the knitting needles. I need to take some pictures of the things he made for the girls so far. He's doing great!

Mieka playing games with Val and Janae. Mieka loved playing with the big girls. :)

Over all it was a fantastic day of spending time with family. I'm so grateful that we were all able to get together and am grateful for the fantastic family that I have.
