Belated Thanksgiving Highlights

The kids and I enjoyed five days at home together over Thanksgiving.  We kept ourselves busy! 
Cousin Abbi joined us for a day or two...
First, we thought we would make cinnamon/applesauce ornaments.  They turned out okay.  

The kids were in the baking mood and they wanted to make roll out sugar cookies. They actually did a lot of the work.  They had to make it look like they were serious bakers by putting flour all over their face.  I think Matt and Carrie helped start that tradition while baking bread with Brenna and Brody. :)
Black Friday, it is a tradition for Sarah and I to venture out shopping.  Thursday night the kids decided to stay at Nana and Papa's house.  So the one morning when I could actually sleep in without children, I left the house at 3:15 A.M.  I got most of my shopping done, and we were home by 1:30.  Friday night we went to the Osseo Christmas Parade. It was cold, but we still ventured out.
                 My beautiful niece Abbi trying to be mad, but not doing so well.
We walked from Aunt Jessie's house.  Tyler was hard to miss with his bright yellow snow pants.
                        Aunt Jessie made us hot chocolate to help keep us warm.
                      Brody snuggled with Tyler while waiting for the parade to start.
                              The parade always ends with Santa and his reindeer.
All for now!
