Thanksgiving, orchestra concert and brace face #6



Thanksgiving this year RULED. Yep, it was so much fun. We drove to "The Fort" and spent the holiday with 6 of the 12 siblings on Dave's side of the family. We really missed those that weren't able to make it. We definitely felt your absence!! But it was a great weekend full of fun, relaxing and partying with the cousins! :) Some of the highlights of the weekend festivus included a 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, braces on Wed, a killer game of four square in the gym, German tag, around the world ping pong and tennis, cooking, cooking and more cooking, a delicious feast, black Friday shopping, going for walks, sleeping in, staying up late, watching movies, a thanksgiving "thankful" turkey and last but not least a great dance partay. Thanks so much to Cosi and Mark for hosting all of us! We had such a great time with the Christensens, Doxey's, Longson's, Cranes and Youngs. Good times. Good times.












Katie and Lindsey did a fabulous job at their Christmas orchestra concert! They are both getting soooo good on their instruments! :)

Mark talked me into getting braces!! The day before Thanksgiving... made for a sore mouth for the feast... but oh so worth it! I am so thankful for the amazing opportunity to have Mark take care of our family's orthodontics!! :) I am also WAY excited to get rid of my TMJ problem!! THANK YOU MARK!!!
