Turkey Day

It is our tradition to spend Thanksgiving in Idaho with my Mom's side of the family. It's the only holiday we get to spend with that side, so we really look forward to it every year. We have missed it the past 2 years, because our kids were at bad ages to go. Luckily, we made it this year & had so much fun :) Bella is such a Daddy's girl now & noticed that Daddy likes to lounge around, so she started joining him! She will only lounge like this when she's with Len!

My cousin's hubby, Todd, playing on the floor with Bella & his son, Ethan. Ethan & Bella are bestest buddies! They planned their trip to earth together & were born 10 days apart.
Kindred spirits :)

The chef's, my Auntie Gayle Sue & Uncle Randy. They are the best cooks & part throwers ever!

The real "turkey"!

Luckily, I was able to pick up a few sets of Lego's for the trip & when the boys got restless pulled them out. They kept Mack especially busy, which is such a good thing!

Bella helped Mommy make chocolate pies :) Yum!

We drove back from Idaho on Friday morning & went straight to Len's family party. We were so pooped, I forgot to get my camera out, so we don't have any pictures of that party. The kids needed a break from sitting & the Ayers party is perfect for that. We meet in a church building & the kids can run & get out all their energy. The men play basketball & the girls sit back & chat. It's wonderful :)

Now..... on to Christmas! Whoa!
