Thanksgiving time..a little late

We traveled to Denver for this past Thanksgiving to spend it with my sister and her family. It nice to have family live a short (8 hours) driving distance away. She was much more diligent at taking pictures than I was sadly, but that doesn't mean we didn't have a really great time. Between the delicious meal we had (which we were mocked for) and the gobs of shopping we did, it was an overall successful trip!

Here's Scott contributing his part to the meal, making the mashed potatoes!. Yes...we have to get pictures when the men cook :) They did turn out really good though. No pictures of Kristin and I making the turkey, pies, jello, and vegetables, but they were there too! Sitting down right before dinner trying to help Tyson be patient. He wanted nothing to do with his bib so he was stripped down, which turned out to be a good thing! We hit the Black Friday deals as best we could hitting 5 stores starting at 4:45 and getting done by 9:30. This is me scoring my dual portable DVD player at Target that came in handy on the trip home. Besides shopping and eating, we did spend some time at the park. Tyson loved this snow business and would stop and eat some whenever he had the chance. He left the swing set to come over to this snow area and sat there for 15 minutes before his hands became cold and he started to cry. Saying Cheese...
We had such a great time...thanks for putting us up Sis!

I'm so proud of you for cooking Thanksgiving dinner! And you won't be sorry about the portable DVD player. That is the only way we can travel in the car with Zayne. Totally worth the money. lol :)

That's so funny that when the men are in the kitchen, it's totally picture worthy!

I'm glad you had fun for Thanksgiving! And black friday shopping...that's a rare thing for me because I usually hit the long lengthy lines or all the good deals are gone by the time I get to them. But it looks like you scored...yay!
