Week ending 11-29-20

We had a great Thanksgiving week. Mom and I went for a lot of walks, we internet shopped, played with the kids, fixed a lot of meals, watched shows, and hung out and talked.

Tuesday: Impromptu limbo while cleaning up dinner.

Wednesday: We made a trip to Springville to do some family history. We stopped to drop off something for Kira and got to play with her dog outside while we chatted.

This is the house where my grandmother grew up. We saw a lot of her houses as well as other ancestors back to 1874 but I forgot to take pictures.

Madalyn came home for the weekend. It's the first time we've seen her since we dropped her off in September. We've missed her!

Thursday: Thomas reading to the little kids while we cooked Thanksgiving dinner.

Kaitlyn making her fruit salad.

The dinner is almost ready!

Thomas carves the turkey.

Dishing up.

Kaitlyn showing off her sweet potato casserole and fruit salad.

Madalyn and Makenna made the green bean casserole like they have for 10+ years. 

(Well, Madalyn has. Makenna is only 8:))

Sitting around and talking to Kylie, one of my favorite parts of the day.

Kylie is doing so awesome in Charlotte and loving it. I'm so proud of her.

Her two front teeth are so loose. Any day now!

Going for our traditional walk and tossing a football.

Playing games and reading. Too bad it's blurry.

Pie time. And I'm pulling turkey off the bones.

Someday I'll spring for a bigger pot. :)

Friday: Feliz Navidad time! Or "Feliz Snobby Duck" as the kids say. Every year they put on the song and line up and go all over the house like this. I love it. Last year's was the best with all 10 kids. I'll treasure that forever.

Getting the decorations out.

Talea having an imaginary tea party with my mom. 

Saturday: Putting up Christmas lights.

Madalyn and Alexis hanging out and catching up.

Our friend had twins over the summer and we finally got to see them! This one is Madison.

This one is Sydney.

I had fun playing a Christmas match game with Andy before tucking him in.
