Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving

The Friday after Thanksgiving we always go to Doug's house for a prime rib dinner and to cut down our Christmas tree.  It is always a fun weekend spent at the Ranch in Kanosh.  This year it was really fun for the boys.  They are getting a little bit older so they can go and explore on their own.  While they were exploring they found a real arrow head.  They were so excited about their discovery.  After dinner we went swimming at the hotel.  We thought Jersey wouldn't like swimming because the water was cold.  Boy we were wrong she wanted to jump right in with her brothers and cousins.  She loved her first real swimming adventure. 

Doug went all out with his dinner this year it was so good.

Austin and Max are so silly.

I love that her hair is long enough for pig tails we have nicknamed her Boo because she looks like the little girl named Boo on Monsters Inc.

Clint thought he could just relax by the side of the pool and hold Jersey but she didn't let that happen too long.

Cade is becoming a really good swimmer.

This was before she jumped in the pool.  Uncle Jake took her for a little swim while Clint put his swim suit on.

The next day we got up early and went swimming while we waited for our cousins to wake up.  Both Jake and Clint ended up taking the baby girls for a drive at 5 in the morning because they woke up so early.  I can't wait until that stage in life when we will actually get some sleep while we are on vacation. 

The kids came up with a fun game to keep themselves entertained while I tried to get a little more sleep.

We didn't think there would be any snow when we went to get our tree so we didn't bring all of our snow cloths.  It was really cold and there was snow so we were all freezing.

Everyone with our trees.
