Thanksgiving

Chad had to work until 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday of Thanksgiving week, so we didn't actually have our feast until Saturday. His brother's family and the grandparents were all around though, so we kept the seven children busy. We were blessed with beautiful weather, for which we were very thankful.
We went hiking on Thanksgiving Day, and Chad's brother took the kids off the path a bit to do some rock climbing and cave exploring, while my sister-in-law and I looked on.

We took the cousins uptown to poke around a bit the next day, before heading to one of our favorite parks to play around some more. The girls love spending time with their cousins.

And here's one of the girls with the blankets their cousins made them for Christmas.
