Thanksgiving and meeting the family

We spent thanksgiving this year with my parents in Heber as all of my family was to be there.  Unfortunately Rheid & Sherri got snowed in Colorado and Josh in Idaho, so we had a good time together without them.

 I was very excited to show Max off and have him meet my family.  He loved getting snuggled by his cousins.

 Maggie was so excited to see Kristianna.  They love to play together and get a long so well.  Even though it was 5 degrees outside they had to go play on the swing set in the back yard. 
 After about 5 minutes, Kristianna came running in, "Maggie is stuck and needs you".  The snow was high enough that Maggie had gotten in the baby swing (shaped like a airplane)and now couldn't get out.  I laughed as I tried and tried to get her out but with her snow boots and pants on I couldn't and had to have Ian come help. One of us held the plane and the other pulled her out. It was very funny.

 While the girls were out playing in the snow, the rest of us girls were in the kitchen helping grandma get dinner ready.

  Dinner was delicious (once again I did an awesome turkey) and it was so nice to be with family again. 
I am so thankful for them.
