Thanksgiving Fun
(and some not so fun moments too)
We had a fun Thanksgiving. We spent it at my parents house. Almost all of my family was there. It was especially nice to see my sister Janet and her little girl Abby. We had not seen them in a long time especially Abby, I don't think she had even seen Sydnie yet. Abby and Sydnie were buddies for the weekend. I don't think Abby put her down for more than a few minutes the entire time we were there. Besides Thanksgiving dinner we did some other fun things. Shaun of course was fishing or hunting any chance he could get. I got to see the movie Twilight and get some Christmas shopping done. And the girls just had fun playing with all of their cousins on both sides of the family. We only had one misfortune at the very end of our stay Sydnie burnt her hand. And we had to cut our vacation a half a day short.


Sydnie and her new buddy Abby.


Adding the finishing touches to the gingerbread house Janet brought for the kids to decorate.


Brianne adding her gingerbread man.




The whole gingerbread construction crew.



Sydnie's poor little burnt hand.




All bandaged up.



We had to put a sock over her hand so she wouldn't rip the bandage off. Then we had to tape the sock to her sleeve so that she wouldn't take the sock off.
