Thanksgiving 2015

This was our first Holiday having to travel home. It was the first time I’ve stayed at my in-laws, and it is a total different experience not going home each night. But we had so much fun! I took the kids up a little early to see a few friends and run some errands. Pat drove up after work on Wednesday night and traveled through a serious snow storm. What usually takes 3 1/2 hours to drive home, turned into about six hours. We were happy when he safely pulled in to the driveway.

We stayed at Dorsie and Terry’s house, (Pat’s dad’s house) along with Pat’s brother Kash and his family from AZ. Pat and both of his brother’s aren’t together often, so it was a really fun week.

These two had so much fun!

Thanksgiving Day we split the day with both of Pat’s parents. We spent the first half with the Sullenger/Tibbitts family. And then drove down to Michele and Layne’s, (Pat’s mom’s) later that afternoon. We ate two meals and literally were stuffed by the end of the night. It was a great Thanksgiving! Thank you Michele and Terry for all the hard work you put in.

Grandma and Grandpa with all the grand kids there for Thanksgiving.

Kash and Cruiz

Sometimes I can't believe we have three boys.
Cannon, Cruiz, Ledger

Cousin Ruehl

Great Grandpa Anderson

We spent Friday at the Siddoway’s. We started the day off watching The Good Dinosaur at the movie theater. I looked over at Ledger during the middle of the movie and he was literally fighting back tears and said, “This is the saddest movie I’ve ever seen!” That pretty much sums the movie up. 

We spent the rest of the afternoon at my parent’s house, my kids were in cousin heaven with all of their cousins up on both sides!

Rhett and Dustin's dog, Teddy

Grandpa bought a remote control car for the boys. They all had so much fun!

Jack and Ledger

My boys finally warmed up to Uncle Rhett.

Teddy... Haha This small horse sized dog loves to sit on people's laps!

Classic Cannon face

The rest of the week we just hung out at the Sullengers.
Cannon and Cruiz had their very first bubble bath… As you can tell, they weren’t big fans until the very end. I wish I would have recorded their Grandpa Sullenger getting the bath ready, and then laughing his head off at them. It was the cutest thing.

   

Roxie 

Little Owen

We went to Blastoff and let the kids go crazy. We ate dinner at Cafe Sabor afterward.
It was a fun night! 

These three are just a couple months apart.

Grandma and Grandpa with all the Sullenger grand kids... just missing Preslee.And my favorite part was Cannon and Cruiz slept in the closet! Yes, call them Harry Potter, but it was pitch black, which they didn’t mind and slept like champs! I literally left wishing we had a closet to put them in each night :) 
They loved having their own little space.

Cannon was pretending to sleep in this picture, snoring and everything :)  

Giving goodnight hugs - and they bonked heads.

"Ow!"

 The last night we let these three have a sleepover. They were thrilled!

We had the best trip, and as I’m writing this, I’m feeling a little sad we aren’t going home for Christmas.

Here’s to new Christmas adventures and traditions!

Happy Holidays.
