Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! My parents came up to celebrate with us and Ruth came over. Erin was hosting the Wilken family at her house and Brett spent the holiday with Sandi's family. But, were able to get the cousins together on Friday. Erin set up a camp at the Double JJ for all the kiddos so the ladies could shop and the guys could play some Top Golf and watch football. 

My parents had been watching Nolan and Calvin, so they got to hang out with us on Wednesday afternoon for a bit.

Avery was a big help in the kitchen making pies with Mama!

Again, on Thanksgiving, Avery helped out with the cooking. She even donned her unicorn chef gear for the occasion!


Papa taking his pre-Thanksgiving meal nap! :)

Avery taking a break with her turkey headband!

The table is ready!

Milo was a mess! He just didn't understand why everyone was at the house and in the kitchen! Avery tried to calm him down.


Matt spatch-cocked the turkey and cooked it on the Green Egg again. Yum!


Dad carving the turkey... all the food is ready to go!


The girls give the food a thumbs up! Avery even ate turkey this year!


Avery also had a lot of "kid" wine! Ha! :)


Avery and Papa with the peanut butter pie they made... it was delicious!


The girls with Mama Ruth!


We went over to the Wilken's house after our meal. They had a bouncy house in the backyard for all of the kiddos over there. The girls loved it!


The bouncy house took a lot of punishment with all those kids!


I think it's because they were fighting inside... they would all stand in the corners and yell "fight" and then attack each other! Surprisingly, there weren't more injuries! Natasha had the right idea and just stayed out of it!

 

Amy had crafts for the kiddos to do... Avery jumped right on this!




On Friday, the kids spent some time at the Double JJ with the animals! Since we had so many kids in our group, we had our own camp day!


The ladies all had fun shopping and then we grabbed lunch at Uncle Julio's!
