Thanksgiving Weekend

We always have a jam packed Thanksgiving weekend and this year was no exception.    The day before Thanksgiving my boys helped make our assignment for the Thanksgiving, a pumpkin cheesecake.  Anyone that knows me knows how much I love anything pumpkin.  But make it into a cheesecake and I am in Heaven.  My boys did a great job helping and I think I will enlist their help again next year.

We spent Thanksgiving day with my family at my brother and his family's house.    We spent the day eating way too much and playing games.  What more could you ask for?

Logan and the newest cousin baby James.  He was so sweet with him.

Trying to get 7 kids to look at the camera and be happy?  Impossible!!  But I will still try.

That night we headed to Andy's parents and spent the weekend with them.  Friday we just sat around and enjoyed playing with cousins and spending time with family.

On Saturday my mom wanted to take me out to lunch for my birthday so Logan and I had a date.  We decided to go over to Gardner Village where they had the Christmas Elves out.    It was fun to spend some time just with Logan and grandma.

Who knew he had his own barbershop?

Look who is on the naughty list?  Logan thought it was pretty funny.

That night we went to my family's annual dinner that my great-aunt hosts.  She is 96 years old and flies here every year from Hawaii.  It is always fun to get together with family that we only see once a year.  We drove home that night exhausted but we had a great weekend.
