giving thanks

Every year we kick off the holiday season with the movie Elf. This year we watched it while traveling to my brother's Thanksgiving day. I mean, Buddy is the best.
There was a big crowd and we all had a great time. It was cold this year, but that didn't stop the girls from monkeying around outside. Literally. She was a monkey.
 She spent a lot of time climbing this tree that day.
 Morgan took the safer route and stuck with the slide.
We were happy that Matthew was able to spend the weekend with us. The girls love spending time with him. They all took a rest and did some swinging in the hammock.
In addition to turkey and monkeys, there was also chicken.
 This one wasn't for eating though. At least for right now.
 Jesse and his chicken.
Hugging and kissing M goodbye. We had a blast hanging out at her house. 
The fun wasn't over. We left my brother's house and went over to my aunt's house for the usual - dessert and four wheeling. It wouldn't be a holiday without it.

Waiting for her turn.


There was also some more swinging...
 And then some teeter tottering.

We had a great day with family and friends. I am thankful for all of God's many blessings. Especially this family of mine.
Happy Thanksgiving!
