I have so much to be thankful for and try to appreciate all that I have every day. We had a great couple days celebrating Thanksgiving on both sides and I always feel so blessed that my kids have so many wonderful relatives on both sides.
We started our holiday weekend with Jon's relatives at the AG church. As always, the food was delicious and it was nice to see everyone again. For as long as I can remember, we have decorated gingerbread houses here, but this year Jon's aunt decided not to do it. I don't blame her as it is a lot of work and she has been doing it for like 15 years! So another of his aunts, and my mother-in-law brought stuff to decorate cookies. The kids still had fun and what was even more fun was being able to eat them!
Here Cora is enjoying a taste of the frosting.

Uh oh, here comes Ella...
It didn't go over very well.
After the church we went over to Jon's mom's house and ate more turkey and all the fixings. My stomach hurt after a long day of eating!
Cora was happy to be home, clean, and cozy in her jammies (:
Her fake smile.
Two days later we celebrated at my mom's. I was really excited because my sister and her family were home from Colorado this year and I was so excited to see them! They hadn't seen Cora since she was brand new in the hospital, so they were all so excited to see her, too.
Cora was a little bombarded at first, but she didn't really seem to mind and warmed up to everyone pretty quickly.
Alaina with my neices Ashley and Allison-love those girls!
The boys table. Jonnie could not be happier to have Mitch and Tanner home.
So after awhile, my sister wanted to show her daughters her wedding dress, so my mom got it out and of course she had to try it on.
And then of course we had to reenact her wedding...here's the blushing bride walking to her groom.
Then we had Alaina try it on...and I'm not going to lie, I got a little choked up seeing her in a wedding dress.
Then mom found some of our old letter jackets, so Ashley became Alaina's groom.
The beautiful couple.
Then I had to put mine on and, of course, do a couple cheers! Good times.
I think Cora looks like her auntie Chrissy.
Mom had all the fixings to make turkey cookies.
They turned out pretty cute!
Roughhousing! I love how Cora is standing there not sure what to think (:
The ladies.
The cousins that were there.
We had an awesome day and an awesome Thanksgiving holiday!
