Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Mesa and got to enjoy time with both sides of the family. We got there on Wednesday evening and stayed at my sister, Jennifer's. We spent Thursday and Sunday with my side, and Friday and Saturday with the Dixon side.

Jennifer rented a bounce-house. It was a huge hit with the kids.

It was great just to be outside.

I loved being around everyone during all the prep of the delicous Thanksgiving dinner.

The kids' table.

So much GOOD FOOD.

We got to play a game of kickball - boys vs. girls. I can't remember who won.

Megan's been into putting on any glasses she can get little hands on. I love this shot.

Some photos from the days with the Dixons. Fondant making is something that happens every holiday season. The kids loved helping and tasting.

The weather was beautfiul and allowed plenty of time to play out in Aunt Stacy's newly landscaped backyard. It is a great backyard.

Uncle Ben got some new wheels and everyone got to ooh and ahh over it.

How totally stinkin' cute is this? Megan loved putting on Grandma's glasses any chance she got.

Stacy told the kids that Uncle Ben would play a "game" with them. No one knew what game it was. It turned out to be "Try To Drop Whipped Cream into Uncle Ben's Mouth", for which he definitely earned the Uncle of the Year Award in my book.

The kids got to help decorate Aunt Stacy's Christmas tree.

There are oodles of other things that happened on both sides that aren't documented here that just made the weekend great. We're so thankful for the terrific families we have!
