Thanksgiving at Ron & Jan's

Today we gathered at Ron & Jan's house to celebrate Josh & Julie's birthdays and to have a Thanksgiving feast. 

The kids ate really fast and then went outside to play.  We found Collin and Brody doing very random things every time we checked on them (like trying to walk across the yard on the fence!)

Katelyn is a little monkey and I caught her climbing a tree.

At one point the kids were starting to argue so I suggested they rake all the leaves in the yard into a big pile that they could jump into.  (I figured it'd take them a long time to rake up all the leaves...and that they'd have to work together to get it done!) 

 

Even little Bella helped...

When they got enough leaves (according to them) raked into a pile, they took turns jumping into the pile and throwing leaves at each other.

Barrett opted to stay inside and play with Tyler in the sunroom.  I think they were fixing things with the pretend tools.

When Barrett decided to venture outside, it was because he found something he could drive!  He LOVES to drive!  I think he sat in this car for well over an hour!

Finally all the activity headed to the front yard where Daddy Steve and Tyler played ball with all the kids.

Doesn't he look so cute in his hat?!

We were at Ron & Jan's house from 11 am until after 4 pm.  Brody and Collin played together the entire time, however, he still had this reaction when I said that it was time to go.....

Today has been a great way to start off our Thanksgiving vacation!
