Thanksgiving wrap up

Thanksgiving is about family and being thankful for the blessings that God has given us and we thought that this year we should grace Flo's family with our fearsome four since it has been a tough few months for everyone.  We just thought that going to Fargo would be the best, so that we could spend some time with those that need family the most right now.

And then 20 hours in the car later...we were starting to doubt ourselves! But, when we knocked on Barb and Mark's door to surprise them I think they almost peed their pants when they saw us standing there! Such a great surprise.

 Cooper playing on Uncle Kenny's key board. That kid has rhythm.
 Happy Thanksgiving!
 Playing this funny game over and over again.  I could not beat the kids for the life of me!
 Kenny as the FSA mascot Snow Boy.
 Two old timers playing games - you should have seen them trying to read the catch phrase words!

 Riding the Ferris wheel at Scheels (my new favorite store!).

 This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy stayed home....
 Fargo force hockey game
We had a great visit and the kids did awesome in the car on the trip and were so excited to spend some more time with grandma and grandpa and uncle Kenny.  I will forever remember playing catch phrase and "Moby Dick" or "free willy" as Kenny called him!

Happy Birthday Cooper!


25 people, 8 pizzas, 6 orders of bread sticks, a huge bowl of Cesar salad, 3 1/2 gallons of ice cream and one monkey cake = one happy birthday party for Cooper who is two (although if you ask him, he will say five).
 He asked for a cake that looked like Ba his side kick monkey.
So many cousins that were ready and willing to help him blow out the candles...


Priceless face when he opened up his presents!

I still can't believe he's two!
