Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we went to Iowa to be with Jared's family.  This was a huge treat for us as we don't get the opportunity to celebrate with his parents very much.  We had a wonderful time.  The only drawback was that the boys were very sick and unfortunately we spread the illness "love" around.  Sorry to everyone who has gotten sick from us! 
Staying in the hotel was a "dream come true" to Miss O.  All of the children were so excited!

For family pictures, our family wore red.

Grandpa Dean, Grandma and Grandpa, and our Family
Jared's family is really delightful.  We did all sorts of things, besides eating our huge Thanksgiving meal.  Some did various "talents" for our entertainment.  Miss R and Miss O did ballet.  We had a birthday party for one of Jared's cousin's girls.  We took pictures.  They did a name drawing and when you won you got to pick a prize from the prize table.  Aunt Twyla demonstrated how to fold a fitted sheet, and I went home and did it and it looked amazing!  Cousin Rachael did a ThirtyOne Gifts demonstration.  The children played and played and played some more with all of the cousins.  Grandpa Dean told a story about the pilgrims and the broken arrow to the children.  I'm probably forgetting something, but it was really a fun time!
