Thanksgiving

We kept pretty busy this Thanksgiving. We had lots of family things on both sides so we did lots of fun things. Here's just a little bit:

We went on a little hike on Saturday with the kids. (We decided this is the time of year in Arizona to go hiking.)
Will and Mckenzie with their California cousin.

Will and his California cousins.


Dave's family has a tradition of a family dance. I had never been before. My family all wondered what kind of a dance you would take kids to. We had fun.
Will wanted Dave to help with this line dance.


Will even got asked to dance by his cousin.


We got Will and Mckenzie to dance together for a few minutes.


A Strong Thanksgiving tradition is the Great Turkey, which leaves a gift for the kids. They just have to unwrap it first. (You can see the turkey-it's small.)


Mckenzie and her cousin in the bouncer. She kept wanting to go inside, even though most of the kids were bigger than her.


This is just a random video I shot of the kids playing together on the swings. I love when they play together happily!

Looks like you guys had fun! My kids would've loved the cousin hike. Mckenzie's hair is getting so long. Cute kids! Lauree

Matthew and Corinne love to dance together too, although sometimes it turns into a wrestling match where Matthew pulls Corinne down on the ground and then he gets on top of her or vice versa.

delighted to see a video of your kids. post more!! ;) i remember spinning around like that on the swings. how cute that mckenzie tries to do the same as will.

that dance looks like fun. i'd love something like that, but i think angus would hate it. can't have it all i guess. did YOU dance? (get your groove on?!) where are the pics of that?

the great turkey sounds like a fabulous tradition. how cute! does your mom do it or do you?

anyways, happy thanksgiving. i always count our friendship as one of my best blessings through the years. love you!
