Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Travis parents and brother up in Beaverton again this year.  It is so nice to have family so close to be able to enjoy the holidays with.  Maybe when I actually have my own house I will host Thanksgiving at my house :) Travis' mom always does such a nice job with Thanksgiving.  All the food was delicious and the table looked beautiful!                                                                                          

We had a relaxing morning, Grandpa made pancakes and we watched the movie "Brave" which I really liked. The kids read books with Grandma and played toys with Grandpa.  They are the best toys for my children :)

Tyler came over just before dinner and we ate to our hearts content.  Graysen was overdue for a nap, so he wasn't in the best of spirits, but we all had a good time.  We went around the table and said what we were all grateful for.  It is so nice to be reminded of the things that are the most important and to give thanks for all our many blessings.  Kenna was grateful for Jesus and for our family, and Graysen said sister and mom and dad.  It was good to here everyone's thoughts.

After dinner Graysen went down for a short nap and then we went to see a movie.  Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to see "wreck it ralph" which they really loved. They actually sat through the whole movie.  The  rest of us went to see "Breaking Dawn part 11." I liked it a lot.  The whole baby part was really fake and dumb, but the rest of it was really good.

We came back and put the kids down for bed and then just hung out.  It was a fun day filled with great food,   good company, and lots of love and thanksgiving.
