Happy Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving Break finally arrived and the kids were really ready for a break as well from school work.  Dave & I started the break off by donating blood for the stake blood drive.  This time I was able to donate with my iron levels right on target. Feeling ok this time afterwards it was time to get the turkey ready and make sure the house was ready for our company.

The MacPherson's arrived full of energy and ready to play.  It was pretty warm outside to 7 kids and 3 dogs swarmed the backyard and let the fun begin.  There was one problem Grace wasn't feeling well.  Hopefully, she will feel better tomorrow for the big day.

Kids Table
Sunshine all around but still a little chilly.

This girl doesn't like the food.
She settled for veggies & rolls. 

Adult Table
Peace and Quiet!!!!

Dang!!!
If only I was as big as Ginger
I could have a treat!!!

Friday, another kid down but the good news Grace was feeling so much better.  Ryan headed off to the children's museum and All Abilities Park.  The kids were worn out by the time the arrived back home.

Saturday, another one down to the nasty bug.  The kids were still pretty worn out what could we do.  Movie time!!!! Everyone wanted to see Moana, but could we still find seats.

Waiting patiently???
Nope, but devouring the popcorn instead.

Front Row Seats!!!
The kids in front followed by the adults behind them.
Didn't work out that way.  Dave moved to the front
and sat with the kids.

It was a good show with a great message.  There was no handsome prince to the rescue.  Instead, a daughter and the future chief working with the help of her grandmother to find the solution to save her island.
Dinner @ Taco Bell
Sunday, the final day of the break.  One more sick and awful weather creeping into the state.  They headed out early to hopefully miss most of the storms.

We had a great time with the cousins sickness and all.  The good news for them all but one of their kids had the gomboo.  Now time will only tell whether we come down with the same stuff.

It is now time to leave this holiday behind and focus now on Christmas.  Bring on the Christmas Music and decorations!!!!
