Happy Thanksgiving!

A few days late....
We went to Wyoming for Thanksgiving this year. We got there on Wednesday afternoon and came home yesterday. It was fun to go relax at Grandma and Grandpa Harry's house for a few days. The boys love going there and somehow stay completely entertained just running around their house playing with all of the old toys that my Mom kept from when my brothers, and sister and I were little. Their favorite game this time was "throw nerfals at Grandma while she's pretending to be sleeping." Anybody remember nerfals? (little round ball heads that you can put hats, pants on etc...) I don't even know if that's how you spell it, but they love them!
Oh and they loved this little kitten that Grandma brought in for them for a minute to pet...
It was such a nice day on Thursday, so we went outside for a little while ...

...then Grandma pulled the boys around in her sled.

My aunt Kathleen who lives in Zuni, New Mexico was able to drive out for a few days...so it was fun to get to see her.My Mom made her fabulous Thanksgiving dinner which consisted of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, rolls, jello salad, cranberry sauce and pumpkin and chocolate pie. It was SO good Mom! Thank you for cooking for us :)Ashton's favorite thing was the "orange part of the turkey" (the skin...lovely). Gunnar mostly wanted to eat the green bean casserole. Funny boys...

Friday...after being lazy at my Mom's most of the day, we went into town and went bowling.Gunnar even got to try :)... Then yesterday we got up and got our stuff packed up and headed home. It was nice to get away for a few days!
