Thanksgiving

Chuck E Cheese

 
As usual we had a lot of things going on over Thanksgiving.  We got to celebrate our Joshie on his 3rd birthday.  He took everyone to Chuck E Cheese.  Next to Disneyland this is the best place on earth.  The kids had a lot of fun with their cousins.

Grandma's House

It wouldn't be Grandma's house without a giant dog pile with all the cousins.  We have a lot of fun with all of our cousins!  They are the greatest!

Kellan was loving the bike at Grandma's house.  Everywhere he went he had to "drive" there.  This kid always has a smile on his face.  He is a really good cheezer, especially when he is doing something he knows he shouldn't...he gives us a huge guilty grin.

Jayla would get Grandpa to drive her around on the 4-wheeler every chance she could get.  This girl loves adventure and she isn't afraid of anything and is turning into an adrenaline junkie.  She makes life fun.

Birth Family Visit

We got to meet up with Kellan's Birth Family.  We were able to hang out with them over the Thanksgiving break.  It is always great seeing them.

Kellan was in heaven with the basketball and shooting it in the hoop.  He was really fun to watch.

My mom and sister-in-laws.  These guys are amazing women!

These two "besties" have a lot of fun together.  I'm so glad they have each other because they play together constantly.

Jessa was so amazing.  She watched the big kids doing their flips.  She walks to the edge and does a back flip with no fear.  We were all impressed.

Kellan LOVED the carousel.  He was so cute riding it with his Birthmom.

Jayla was pretty impressive.  She showed no fear and wanted to go on the ropes course.  At first she was a little nervous, but with the help of Kieran she got the hang of it real quick.

We also played croquet, lazer tag, played in a giant playground, played arcade games, and went bowling.  It was a fun day!

The girls really got into the lazer tag.  It was cute to see them running and hiding behind things getting all serious.

There was also "Mini Bowling" and this was the best thing ever for Kellan.  He had a lot of fun throwing the balls and knocking things down...2 of his favorite things to do.

Grandma's House

 

We were also able to spend a little bit of time at our other Grandma's house. Its always nice to be with family.

Kellan loves to be tickled.  He will rip off his socks and point them at us saying, "tickle tickle" because he wants us to come tickle him.  He sure loves his daddy and his daddy loves to wrestle with him.

Aunt Deanne and Nathan took the girls on a ride in a "Big Rig."  The girls even got to honk the horn, which was especially exciting.

Then the girls got to ride and help drive a tractor.  Jessa wasn't that into it and didn't like the loud noise.  Jayla loved it and wanted to know which tractor she got to drive next.  She also asked if she could go plow the fields. hahaha.  So cute!

Well....she kinda got her wish.  While she was driving with Deanne they dropped the plow and started plowing up the dirt driveway.  Ooops, but everyone just seemed to think it was hilarious.  Pretty sure we had an awesome Thanksgiving.
