Our Thanksgiving adventures!

We were SO excited to visit the Buhrleys for Thanksgiving this year. Jolyn had our room all ready with a note on the headboard from the kids and a note in the closet JUST FOR US!! We felt very special :)
The kids had so much fun together! We had to remind ourselves that we had kids. They really know how to keep themselves entertained! We tried to be "good" parents and put them to bed, but with cousins who needs sleep?
Thanksgiving morning started with our annual Turkey Trot which was nice and "toasty!"
The Buhrley's kitchen is PERFECT for preparing a big feast together. The funnest part was making everyone's favorite foods. Matt and Lou were quite the sweet potato chefs!
I'm not sure what Jolyn made but she sure looked cute in her apron :)

Justin was so proud of his loose tooth until I told him I wanted to take a picture of him when it was crooked (almost out). For some reason this scared him to death! I swear, I didn't even touch his tooth!!! Your aunt Jill is innocent!
Gracie will do ANYTHING for her big bro!
The kids found many ways to keep themselves entertained!
It was so nice of the Buhrleys to let us bring Leo. He was loved by everyone :) He moped around the house for 3 days and even got into our van waiting for us to take him back!
Black Friday was SO FUN! Well, the preparing anyway :) We just don't know how to REALLY shop I guess. For some odd reason, standing in line for hours and hours before the store opens and then running to beat the crowd to that "great" deal, just doesn't sound very fun.

Fun is jumping in the air and making waay cool faces in the van (we were trying to take pictures like Josy but I think we need a little more practice!)

Atleast we were able to see the CRAZY long line at Toys R Us which helped us come to our senses and head back home for a wonderful night sleep!
Jolyn spoiled us and got us these great festive shirts...We look great don't we?
Bowling was a wonderful adventure!
I must say, the Buhrleys and Heaps were AMAZING!
We spent the last day shopping, making gingerbread houses, and getting every last minute of playing time in possible!

Thank you Buhrleys for a wonderful weekend full of great fun and great memories!

Thanks Jac for putting all the collages together! They look great :)
