Thankful

We had such an awesome time in Illinois for Thanksgiving this year. We were there an entire week, and it went by waaayy too fast!! Before we knew it, it was time to leave. :(

The Sisters! I am so lucky to have married into such an awesome family! Love these girls!


Here's Brooklyn with Jason's uncle Greg. We were so glad he could make it out to visit with us!



Me and Jay at his mom's house.


Makayla and Diane. So cute, I love this pic.


Of course, we had to bust out Settlers!!!


Makayla opening her gift from Uncle Greg! Ruby slippers just like the Wizard of Oz ones! They are SO cute!


Steve and his deep fried turkey! It was soooo yummy too!


A little pool game. I was just holding that to look like I was playing...haha. I really suck at that game.


Makayla helping Papa Wade make his yummy rolls. She kept sticking her finger in the dough and eating it raw..haha. Such a good "helper."





Diane and Steve's house. I love it!


We are completely soaked in this pic. Hard to tell, but we came out of the movie theater and it was insane outside...I have never seen anything like it. We found out we were in a tornado watch, and so we were trying to decide if we should make a run to the van and go over to Jason's dad's place. So we waited for a "lull" in the storm, and made a break for it. Our car was like 10 feet from the doors, and me and Jackie were in the back and had to wait for the automatic sliding doors to open...they are SUPER slow...so Jackie gave up and jumped up front onto Austin, and my door finally opened, and hers was open, so the wind and rain was blowing straight into the van, and all over me...so I got even more wet waiting for the doors to slowly close... But it was pretty funny in the end.


We had to stop at Steak and Shake on the way home from the St. Louis zoo! So yummy!


I just realized these pics are kind of out of order, oh well. This camel was so cool looking. He was just standing there, looking all majestic, chewing on something gross, looking at us like, "I'm totally going to spit this in your face..."


Having fun at the zoo!


Makayla with Grandma and Grandpa





I just thought this was so cute, cause the cup is so huge!


A drive by Arch shot!


caught eating cookies before dinner... :)


Snuggle time on Grandma's bed, with Grandma and Great Grandma!


This is Litchfield as you see it coming in from the highway.


Jason taking down his dad in arm wrestling! Wade hadn't ever been beaten. It was about time he got de-throned!


And that's it!! We just had so much fun hanging out with family, not doing much except for relaxing and eating! Perfect.
