Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

Thanksgiving was another great one this year! We love doing Arizona Thanksgivings -- it translates to TONS of people, TONS of food, and TONS of homemade saurkraut (a family tradition)! Our Arizona family doesn't mess around when it comes to Thanksgiving, and we are always grateful to be part of the festivities. We had a grand time just hanging out with the whole family, playing cards and Blokus, munching on grandma's endless supply of goodies, and eating at Jordan's Mexican restaurant in PHX (another family tradition.) It was a great weekend, and it definitely left us a lot to be grateful for. Thanksgiving is the perfect way to kick off the whole holiday season!

I brought my camera (gasp!) for the first time since in about a year, so I kind of got picture happy.

Walking over to the farm

Very, very, very.... etc... TIRED.

This boy LOVES horses. He asks to go to the stables in our cul-de-sac every afternoon.

Yay! He is looking (and smiling) at the camera!

Someone was afraid of sitting atop bales of hay.... hahaha.

Checking out the baby cows

Bye, bye, Farm!
