Turkey Day Times Two!!

We spent Thanksgiving with Jared's side of the family (since we were having a gathering with my family on the Saturday following). They held their dinner at Jared's brother Jeff's house in Vernonia. We arrived a little bit early so that the kids and Jared could play flag football with Jeff and his family. The kids really enjoyed playing (this was the second football game that Jared got to play in this day, the first was at the Jones's house and was not flag football). Jared enjoyed being able to play football with the kids. Bella and I watched for a little while, before Bella got to cold to be outside. Below are some pictures that I took of them playing.

After the game was finished we got things ready and sat down to eat. We were able to share dinner not only with Jeff's family, but also Jared's parents, Brent and Mark and his family. It was a full house, but fun to see everyone and enjoy their company. It was also good food too.

On Saturday we enjoyed a day with my family. We had a great dinner at one of the church buildings where the kids were able to run around the gym and enjoy themselves. We brought Spence's tricycle for him to ride on in the gym he loved that and it keep him entertained. Since we weren't bringing something like that for Lexi. We came up with something different to entertain her. She wanted to do a thankful jar and have everyone write down what they are thankful for and then she (with my help) read them to everyone, while we were eating. I wasn't sure if she would help me read them, but she did. She is getting so big. I was so proud of her.

This picture is so cute, Bella doesn't move much in her walker, but Abby who is a week older is all over the place. Abby though does have a lot more room to move around also. Anyways so Abby was pushing Bella with her walker it was so cute.

So we all had a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with our families. I love this time of year because of the time that I get to spend with my family. I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving also.
