Thanksgiving Weekend!

For Thanksgiving we headed up to Island Park to spend the weekend with Todd's family. We hadn't been up there since two summers ago so the boys were pretty excited. The only thing about going this time of year is traveling in the snow. We had horrible roads going up and coming home...but it was worth it! It was just like a winter wonderland when we got there...snow and more snow! The boys had a great time playing with all their cousins! Most of our time there was spent playing outside in the snow...sledding and snowmobiling. Then there was Thanksgiving dinner. It was yummy just like it always is. Then after dinner we had the funnest game of rummy. Luckily I didn't have to do the dishes!! :) Our family!

The kids all had a blast getting pulled on the sleds by the 4-wheeler!

Jaygen had a blast building a jump with his cousin Spencer to ride the sleds down!

Briggs and Todd playing in the snow!

One of the best parts of the trip was that great-grandma Mullen got to come have dinner with us. She has always been so special to Todd. We hadn't seen her for about a year and a half so I was really glad to have another chance to see her and give her a hug! Pace is totally crying because he had to get his picture taken. He was actually a stinker this whole trip! :(

This picture is priceless...great-grandma Mullen and all the grandkids.

Spencer, James, Briggs, Parker, Jaygen, Isabell, great-grandma Mullen, Maddie, Audrey, Claire, Myles, Lillian, Pace...yes Pace is still crying

The boys made indian hats and the girls made pilgrim hats to wear at thanksgiving dinner...they looked so cute!


It was really good to see everyone and thanks to Jim and Mary for everything! We had a great time! The only thing that could have made this weekend better would be if grandpa Mullen would have shot one of the two spike elk that were standing only 40 yards from the truck...ha ha!!! :)
