Thanksgiving Week

For thanksgiving we had the entire family together all week. We spent our time playing games, eating really good food, going to movies, shopping, and hanging out. Here are some pictures of our week.

Thanksgiving morning the guys went to play football and then they went to play soccer. Eric was injured while playing football as a result of tackling a 300lb guy who landed on his chest. 
We went bowling
Melissa ripped it up beating all the girls
Nanna played bowls in South Africa, so she was the champ.

Kamryn going for the strike

After thanksgiving we went to Apple Hill. This is a tradition that we love. Why do we love it?
You can drink the warm apple cider.
Discover a park in the middle of the forrest.
Get your face painted.

Even Garreth and Jess did some face painting.
Hide in the trees.

Ride the ponies.
Take really cute pictures.
The newlyweds.

The Girls.
Giving daddy hugs
The rest of the time we spent laughing at our little ones playing together.
Eric watching The Little Mermaid with the girls.
It's tradition for our family to say something they are grateful for while eating thanksgiving dinner, but I have so many things I am grateful for. I am thankful for the gospel in my life. I'm thankful for a loving husband who works so hard for us. I'm thankful for our baby, who brightens my day everyday. I am thankful that Eric's business seems to be unaffected by the economy. I am thankful that I can stay at home with Kamryn. I am thankful for my family and Eric's family because they are our best friends. I am thankful for old and new friends. I am thankful for everyday miracles. I am thankful that we are all healthy and strong. I'm thankful that I'm done with my Christmas shopping.  And I am thankful that later this week I'll be cruising the Pacific coast with my sister. 
What are you thankful for?

Wow! Looks like you guys had a blast. Is this your family or Eric's family? Dee & I have never been to Apple Hill. We are planning to take the girls up there soon. Thanks for the heads up of all the fun things we can do up there. My girls love bowling, we should take Cami with us the next time we go! The girls would love it!
