We had a really fun Thanksgiving this year. We spent the day at my mom's house. All of my family was there, except for Jeremie's kids, we missed them! Lucky for us they were able to come up that night and spent the rest of the weekend with us.
My three little cutie pies waiting for dinner.
Steve, Chase, and Breeley enjoying dinner.
Keaton was so cute at dinner. He was so tired that he was leaning against the wall falling asleep as he ate. I finally had to hold him, as soon as he snuggled down in my arms he was sound asleep.
My family has a tradition of shooting clay pigeons on Thanksgiving. It's always a lot of fun. Chase kicked butt this year. He almost beat out all of us, it came down to him and Zach in a shoot out. His gun jammed, so I guess we'll have to decide the winner next year. He's a pretty good shot and this is definately his favorite part of Thanksgiving.
Steve-Look at that form, what a stud!
Aren't they sweet? We were actually all trying not to freeze to death at this point, it got pretty cold by the end.
Me attempting to shoot. I am no good at this, but it's still fun. I'm pretty sure I close my eyes when I pull the trigger, probably not a good idea when trying to aim, but Steve's gun kicks a bit. Gina is standing next to me shooting as well. Paula beat out all the girls this year when she hit a clay pigeon. Yes, we're just happy to hit one.
OK, this was by far the funniest moment up there. Laci decided to shoot the gun. We told her to put the gun against her shoulder, but apparently she took that as against her arm. I'm sure you can guess what happened next. She shot the gun and when it kicked it was pretty painful. She left to go to the car in tears-she denies this, but I know that she was trying not to cry. We were all laughing so hard, she didn't get too much sympathy-sorry, Laci! I got the perfect picture of her shot. You can see her hair whipping back as she shot the gun, it really got her good!
On Friday, my mom, Gina, Laci, Madison, Taylor, and myself went shopping. It's always a lot of fun. We came home that night and played BINGO. My mom furnished the prizes. Thanks, mom and dad, for keeping all these fun traditions alive. I know it's what makes our family tick-we love you!
Breeley loves Hannah Montana, so she wanted a Hannah Montana party. A guitar was the only thing I could come up with for her cake that would go with the theme. She really liked it.
The only thing that Bree wanted to do for her birthday was go to the "game store", meaning an arcade. We took her to the arcade at Fat Cats and she had a ball. We let her choose where she wanted to have dinner-of course she chose McDonald's. That's her favorite place to eat.
When we got home we invited the family over for cake and icecream. Breeley wanted to skip the cake and icecream and go directly to the presents. We held her off long enough to get a piece of cake down her and then she tore into them. As you can see, she got pretty excited opening her gifts.
She got a Hannah Montana game, similar to Guitar Hero, she loved it and all the other gifts she got. She has slept in the Hannah Montana sleeping bag she got since the night of her birthday. The main thing she wanted was an Easy Bake Oven. She got one of those and loves to bake in it.
