Giving Thanks for Thanksgiving!

I think that I had the most wonderful thanksgiving I have ever had this year! There wasn't anything really all that different from years past, but I have never been more excited to have my family come up then I was this year. And I needed them to come up, since the last few months have presented us with a lot of change, stress and hardship, it was wonderful to just be able to relax and enjoy, and feel like things are normal in my life. So...it was wonderful and I was beyond sad when they left. My Mom and Dad, my sister Jill and her two kids and my brother Jeff and his wife Sara and their family all came up and stayed with us for pretty much the whole week. My mom and Jill and I did some shopping, which was tons of fun for us, probably not so much fun for Skyler, Ethan and Dylan! We played lots of games together and we also went to the Hill Aerospace Museum! It was really cool to see planes from back in the WWII era! Being there helped me remember to give thanks for all of the men and women that have served our country and protected our freedom! Skyler wanted to take a pic of me, so here it is!AspenKaidenParisJadenTalonDylanSkyler (aka. Sky or Sky-guy)Ethan ColeThe biggest kid of them all! My Kyle!Adrianne

We also had fun making sugar cookies with the kids!

We went through lots of sprinkles that night!Skyler was very proud of his cookies!Ethan just wanted to eat them!

I am a Daddy's girl!

Kyle loves to play with the kids on the swing set.

And then there was the adventure with Jill's hair. She decided that she wanted to color her hair (none of us understand why since she had beautiful blonde hair to begin with). So, she was coloring it a slightly different shade of blonde. Well, if you can't tell from the pic, it went orange! And yes I mean really orange! So, right after she washed out that hair color, we ran to walmart and got another hair color, this time a platinum blonde to get rid of the orange!

This is the result after that hair color! Much better! Moral of the story, don't mess with the good things God gave you!And here is my mom during a game of cards. This is the game that Kyle and Mom killed Jill and I at.
