Thanksgiving

It has been a lovely few days of family togetherness!  Alyson and I took off early Friday morning up to Fort McMurray and the dad's followed after work that night.  The weather has been spectacular lately so after many potty breaks on the side of the road and five hours in the car we pulled into Gramma's and ran to play in the back yard.  Part of our weekend plans included a Baby Shower for Max and Auntie Jenn, more on that in another post. The girls were so excited to see their cousins and Aunties, it is rather adorable.

A holiday celebration wouldn't be complete without some crafting of course.  It was a joint effort to make little turkey's for our place settings.  Jacey and Auntie Leslie put the eyes and beak on our birds, Amelia wrote out all 14 names, while Stella and I cut feathers.  We all taped them together and set the table with them.  LOVE getting to make things with my girls :)  

Some things that stand out from the weekend are;
* roadside impromptu picnic because there was no where to sit 

* TWO yummy turkey dinners

* Jon, Mikel, Graham and Kingston playing football (Kingman has some serious skill and they boys said they felt really Thanksgiving-ish playing with the pigskin hahaha)

* playing in Gramma and Grandpa's back yard

* the kitty Leia escaping and running outside an average of 12 times a day (no one is used to watching for her and she is quick)

* Jigs Dinner at Auntie Jenn's

* cuddling Baby Max

* church together as a family with all four grand girls in their matching dresses from Gramma

* Hinko girl dessert at Moxie's after bedtime

Darling baby Max!!!

Many things to be thankful for.
