Thanksgiving Fun!

 Five Cousins, Growing so Big!

Don't you love Ava's pink cowboy hat?  She picked it up at Tractor supply (because Dawson's birthday, of course!) and has been wearing it nonstop.

Funny, but I think I like the silly picture the best.

We also visited a nearby entertainment center.  It was so FUN! and BIG!  Mike clearly enjoyed himself on the bounce houses!

This was the biggest bounce house I've ever seen!  It was 36 feet high and thankfully Mike took the kids on it for the first ride.  Ava got scared at the top and Mike had to give her a little "encouragement."

Wow!  This kid had a ball bouncing!

Here is Ava and Carter on the wrecking ball.  Ava was really good at this, she rarely fell!

The kids also enjoyed laser tag for the first time and arcade games.  Sara was the sweetest and took Dawson in the laser tag arena.  He had a ball with her!  Carter and Ava went in with Daddy and apparently they really got into it.  I was nervous they would be scared because it was so dark.  (Neither kids will go upstairs if it is dark!)  But they did great!

A close up of Ava in her pink cowboy hat, how cute!

I love Thanksgiving!  It's so nice to spend time with the ones we love and we are so blessed to have a wonderful extended family!  And of course it wouldn't be thanksgiving without......raw sewage in the basement, Myla eating two dozen freshly baked pumpkin cookies, ongoing construction, stepping over power tools to sit down at the lunch table, enough mashed potatoes for everyone to have a tablespoon, gallons of gravy and cranberries and fun with our cousins.  Love you all!
