Thanksgiving Fun

I am still playing catch up so here is my Thanksgiving post. This year for Thanksgiving we decided to go to Michigan and visit one of Caleb's brothers. We had a lot of fun and we loved that we got to show Lucy off to some more family. I didn't get any pictures of the actual food we ate, but it sure was yummy! Thanks Michelle for all the hard work to make such great food. The day after Thanksgiving we didn't do much shopping, instead we went to a movie. We went and saw Tangled. It was a very cute movie, even though I missed the first part because Lucy decided to have a blow out, go figure! Anyway Makayla loved it and talks about it all the time. I have to say she did much better in this movie than she did when we went and saw her first movie Toy Story 3. Just shows how much she has changed in 5 months!
Makayla also had a lot of fun playing with her cousins. Zach became her buddy right away! Even though it was very cold they got to play outside and had a ball
.
Here they are on the tramp playing a game that consisted of kicking all the balls off the tramp whenever the dads would throw them on it.
She is so cute and is at such a trying but FUN age!
Here they are getting pulled around in a sled, even though there was no snow. I think this started her obsession with sleds that led to us buying one when we got home. These two are so cute!
She is going to kill me for this one, but oh well. First off this was after a long, long day out and about she fell asleep on my lap while waiting to go to bed. Secondly we are having issues with her picking her nose. We tell her all the time to stop and what not, so it was hilarious when we looked at her and she had fallen asleep with her finger in her nose!
Of course everyone there was a big help with Lucy and wanted to hold her all the time. Here she is with her cousin Rachel.

One more of her doing what she does best! She is getting so big already.
On Saturday we went to a farm that was all decked out for Christmas to see Santa and get homemade donuts and apple cider. It was such a cute place and we had a blast.

Outside of the barn where Santa was waiting. Makayla was so excited to see him and tell him what she wanted!

She was so brave this year and sat on his lap and told him she wanted a camera and doll house for Christmas.

I had to add this picture. It was down the stairs from Santa and I think Makayla could have stood there and looked at this for hours. It sang Christmas songs and she was fascinated by it. It was so funny.

They also have a ton of things outside for the kids to play on and look at. It was a little cold so we didn't stay out there too long, but long enough to get some pictures. Family picture minus one. It was just too cold to pull her out!

What a cutie!
After playing outside we went in for what I really wanted homemade donuts and apple cider. It was so good. Here is Makayla enjoying her share!
We had so much fun and are so thankful to these guys for letting us come and stay and showing us a great time! We miss you guys already!
