our thanksgiving

thanksgiving this year was spent with my moms family the JORGENSEN CLAN

the food was prepared by my mom and her sisters

everyone brings their assignments and we EAT BOWL AND PLAY all day!!

It's always fun to hang out with cousins 

family we don't see often and let the kids run wild!

i have SO much to be thankful for.
i love my family and feel so blessed to have such a wonderful relatives.

dad and adam bowling

papi (that is what adam now calls him.. love it) sneaking adam some PUMPKIN PIE
looks like he liked it!

papa and abby. loves her papa, that is for sure!

adam was caught "sneaking" candy bars.
it was so funny though. he comes running up to me, big smile on his face saying OPEN OPEN
then passing them out to abby and also cousin Lyla. funny boy

cousins are the BEST

not sure who even won in the bowling games.
must admit i had more fun chatting with all the ladies so i was doing that most of the time.

 the kids played the arcade games and abby went on the horsey merry go ground countless time (i think she was given quarters by each person there!)
kalei and lyla

nana doing the "steeple" story to lyla

she love it every time. (or whatever it is called...)

(thanks to those that took these pictures, i forgot my camera... i know, it doesn't happen often!)
what a fun thanksgiving!

 oh and what else did we do during the break...? take FAMILY PHOTOS

don't worry it was only 15 DEGREES out side. felt like -5
we are crazy i know

i just needed a christmas card photo for my cards!!

poor kids were freezing. poor mom and dad and poor photographer (jakelle) ha

we took a few, ran to our cars to get warmed up and then took a few more!

abby pretty much cried in all of them. 

it was cold but that wasn't the real problem, they just didn't want to sit still! ha

we manged to get a few, i think. so i'll have to post those soon.

LOVE thanksgiving and LOVE my family.
