Thanks-christmas Eve

This year we were able to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my side of the family. We had such a great time, I was so grateful the roads cleared up so all the fam could make it to boise! Everyone arrived wednesday evening, we got to go over to Stephens parents house to see Nathan and Sherry (who are expecting Trips) and their two beautiful spunky 2 & 3 year old girls! I painted their fingers and toes, they were in love. Here is the spunkerino herself Hazel Dawn(3)...




And Here is Kendall Lynn(6)


Its just expected of me now...and I'm ok with that! At least they love me. Then Stephen read stories to all the little ones before it was time to go. We have Clair Christine(2), Stephen Wayne(26), Hazel Dawn(3), Jaxon T(4), and Kendall Lynn(6)


We had such a great time with them! Then we went to my moms house where Ainslee, Brad, Kylee, JJ and babe on the way had already arrived in their brand new mini van! I tried not to make too much fun over the mini van my sister swore she would never own! Haha. Then I gave pedicures and the rest of the gang showed up later that night... Riley, Destry and baby Hinder then Mallory, Don and Mazie (who is their hyper puppy). Thanksgiving day was packed fulll! We woke up and had a beautiful breakfast courtesy of my wonderful hubby, then got ready and took some family pictures, came home and ate a fabulous feast. Destry was so creative this year, she had all of us fill out a little survey about the holidays and the family and put all our answers on our place mats so we could read each others answers! It was very fun to read what everyone had to say about favorite memories and hobbies and such. Her and Riley also gathered pictures of all of us and made us into little pilgrims it was hilarious. So thoughtful! Thank you again for taking the time to make our place settings so fun! Earlier this year we decided as a family to do the gift exchange over thanksgiving since we wouldnt be together for christmas. I'm so glad we did, it was great to see them open presents and brought an even better spirit of gratitude to our thanksgiving weekend. The best part was watching the kids. They are so easily distracted! Next year I think we'll just get hinder and big bouquet of balloons! He is so dang funny. Later that night I gave Riley a pedicure and while he was busy playing card games I painted his toes hot pink with snowflakes and he had no idea till I was almost done! It was so hilarious! And I also put snowflakes on Hinders toes. He was so still, he loves his toes. He kept wanting the balloon to be tied to his big toe. Haha. Kylees nails were decked out in pink and purple and flowers and snowflakes! It was such a fun weekend, I didnt take many pictures at all! Sad. Even sadder having to end the weekend with a loss from BSU, but it made for an extra thing to have to be gratful for...and that is a 33 game winning streak! It had to end sometime. I still love my broncos, I just wish they would have played better. Anyway... I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. The countdown begins for CHRISTMAS! Cant wait.
