Thanksgiving Vacation

This year for Thanksgiving we traveled to Boise. We saw both sides of the family. The roads were snow covered and the temperature was in the single digits. It was a slow drive, but we arrived safely. We had two Thanksgiving dinners. We started at Nate's parents and had a wonderful meal. His Grandpa, Uncle Mel and Aunt Sue came down from Twin Falls. Nate's brother Patrick, cousin Tara, cousin Jen, Ariana and Aunt Sharon also came over. We had a great time. The boys enjoyed playing with Ariana.

Later that afternoon we went over to Megan's parents. The Neilsen's, Schmidt's and Brother Greg flew in from California. Cousin Beth, Aunt Linda and Uncle John were also there. It was a wonderful family reunion. The boys enjoyed playing with Jessica (age 5) and Kylie (age 7). Cooper had a few over nighters with them. Needless to say we were stuffed by the end of the night.

Friday, Nate enjoyed going duck hunting with Uncle John. They both limited out and had a great time. Thanks John for taking Nate out. Megan went shopping with her family after the craziness of black Friday was over. She had fun. That evening we went to the Botanical Gardens. It was beautiful and very chilly. Nate skinned his ducks and watched the Boise State game with his family later that night. I went back over to watch most of the game with my family and then finished watching it at Nate's parents.

Saturday we got to go see cousin Tara's new place. Very nice. She has worked very hard and it shows. It was fun to visit with her at her house. We went and saw Tangled that afternoon. The boys had fun. It was Charlie's first time watching a movie in a theater so large. Cooper watched, "Horton Hears a Who" years ago while Charlie slept through it. He was so little. We all had fun. Then we spent the rest of the evening at Nate's parents. Now we are getting over colds and watching the beautiful snow fall.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
