Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
I know that it is a little late, but I haven't
had time to do any blogging till now:) As they
say though 'better late then never' right?
The first Thanksgiving we went to was on Jamie's
Mom's side. They had it the weekend before Thanksgiving
in Wisconsin at a condo. It was a lot of fun!



They had it decorated nicely.

Jamie couldn't wait till we started eating:)


There was a lot of different kinds of foods
as well as the traditional Thanksgiving ones.
It was all very good!


Jamie and I relaxing before the meal. As you
can see in the background they also had a Christmas
tree already set up:)


After we ate we played different card games and
talked for the rest of the afternoon! We had a fun time!
In this picture with Jamie and I is Paul and Caitlyn (Jamie's
brother and sister-in-law), and Matt and Ashley (Ashley is
Jamie's cousin and Matt is her fiancee). Just for those who didn't
know:)



We went on Thanksgiving day to my Grandma's
house. My family was in Missouri so it was just my
Grandparents, my two aunts and their families, and
Jamie and I. We had a lot of fun!



The food was very good! These are three of my
cousins- Darcy, Jarred, and Dylan.

After we ate most of us then went outside to
play a game. Darcy and Autumn.




We played a game kinda like tag, called 'turkey feather'.
You pair up in a team of two and each get a scarf that you
tuck in your pocket, but not all the way in. You have to leave
a good amount hanging out, because the object is the team that
can grab the most turkey feathers (scarfs) from the other teams
pockets is the winner. It was a lot of fun! and a good way to run
off some of that Thanksgiving food:)



After we were all pretty tired we went inside
for desert:) My aunt had made six pies! My cousins
thought instead of just eating the pie we should have a
pie eating contest!:) I did not join in on the fun. Someone
has to take pictures right?



They had alot of fun and I had fun
just watching and takeing pictures:)









We also went to Jamie's Dad's side on
Thanksgiving, but I didn't get to take any
pictures:( Oh well, it was a great Thanksgiving
and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
as well!
