Happy Thanksgiving!!!


Happy Thanksgiving! This year we spent Thanksgiving in Penn Valley and also in Sacramento, which means we also had two Thanksgiving meals! :) It was a little crazy, but lots of fun. We drove to Penn Valley late Wednesday afternoon and had a pizza party at Grandpa and Grandma's house. Spence came also. We played air hockey and had pies for dessert. YUM! We spent the night and spent Thanksgiving morning there also. Nolan loves picking stuff out of Grandpa and Grandma's garden. Even though there wasn't a whole lot left because of the frost, he was still determined to find something. I think he ended up finding some frozen strawberries and overgrown chard. :)


Uncle Spence helped Nolan construct this cool marble maze!

Annika had fun playing with herself in the mirror.






Nolan was so excited to start piano lessons!

Here's a couple of videos. Sorry, one of them you'll have to turn your head sideways to watch. :) Nolan's been wanting to golf with Uncle Spence. So, he brought his stuff and taught Nolan a few tricks.

Well, after we had a Thanksgiving lunch in Penn Valley we headed to Sacramento to Adam's parents house for more parties! There were lots of people over for dinner. I think they were expecting about 50 people there. Adam's sister, Tawny and her husband and 3 boys came out this week from Utah. The boys had lots of fun together. We spent the night a couple of nights so the boys could have as much cousin time as possible. I wish I got some pictures, but for some reason it didn't happen! :( Oh well. It was a lot of fun, even though Nolan's home sick today from school and Annika had a couple of rough nights being away from home. We love spending time with family!

We hope so too!!! We probably won't be able to make it this year though, but we'll see. I wish Arizona wasn't quite so far away. :(
