Thanksgiving!

 We went to Grandpa Mike and Grandma Mary's house for Thanksgiving this year!

 Ethan is eyeing up the big feast - he was especially excited about the turkey - and that's all he would eat!

 Grandma Mary, Uncle Tim, Great Grandpa Glenn, and Uncle Luke celebrated with us this year . . .

 Ethan and Victor are sharing a big cousin hug . . .

 Macie's favorite part of the meal was her sucker!

 Aunt Michelle and Victor celebrated with us too!

We had a very fun Thanksgiving this year at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We had a delicious feast and then hung out until late into the evening.  The next day I got up early to go shopping (early, like 3:30 AM).  I was at Target at 4 AM and it was a total madhouse, but I did get some portable DVD players for the car that I wanted - and they were a great deal - so it was worth it!  It was fun shopping with mom, Aunt Cathi, and my cousin Lizzy.  We've been getting up at the crack of dawn to shop the day after Thanksgiving since I was a little kid - when Prange's was in Eau Claire!!

Later in the day we met Luke, Michelle, and Victor for lunch - then took a nap.  Later in the evening we all gathered at mom and Mike's house again for leftovers and a game of Balderdash.   It was a bit tricky to sit and play with my kids running around, but we managed to have fun and laugh a lot!  Ethan and Macie had a blast playing with cousin Victor!

We put up the Christmas tree on Sunday night, so it feels like Christmas mode is in full swing.  Ethan can't wait for presents.  He won't have to wait too much longer, because St. Nick's day is this weekend!
