Thanksgiving 2012

This was one of the greatest Thanksgivings EVER!  I was beyond excited when Brielle told me a few months back that they were not going to Disneyland for Thanksgiving.  Instead she was coming to OREGON!  We decided to drive to Thaynan and Suzie's for Thanksgiving dinner.  The kids travel well when they have their ipods and ipads.

After a big Thanksgiving dinner we went to Thaynan's school and played on these roller scooters.  It was more fun than I've had in years.  Pushing those scooters around and listening to loud music. Ahh

Tovey and the other guys decided to make trains and drag everyone around the gym.  It looked like a serious workout.

After Thanksgiving we came back to the house for a few days (Church and Charlie's birthday, forgot to take pictures of that).  On Monday we head to the Great Wolf Lodge.  Our hotel room was right across the hall from Brielle and John/Mom and Dad.  Our room had this little log cabin for the kids to sleep in. I definitely recommend putting kids in their own sleeping quarters. 

Here are all the kids in matching Jammies that Grandma brought them.

Of course when there is fun there is naughtiness.  Tia has such a hard time not getting what she wants (like most 4 year olds).  Here she is having a "time out" in the corner and what you can't hear is her crying so loud that people are looking at me like a crazy lady.  So, what do I do?  I take a picture of it.

Where there are a lot of kids and distracted parents, there is lost child.  Here is cooper at the main level standing on a table.  COOP!

Saree and Jack got these magic wands and did an adventure scavenger hunt around the hotel when they weren't busy swimming.

Here we are minutes before Brielle and John/Mom and Dad took off for Utah.  We had so much fun together.  It was a crazy week but worth every minute of it.

and here is our attempt at a family photo
