What are you Thankful For?

Once again the Thanksgiving holiday was filled with plenty of family, food, fun and laughs.  We were able to spend Thanksgiving day with all of Lynn's family and as always had way too much to eat and tons of relaxation.  Then on Friday we headed up North to Island Park and spent the weekend with my family and had another delicious feast on Saturday.  Who can complain about having two Thanksgiving meals and plenty of pie at each.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures taken at the Dahle festivities, however below are the pictures from Island Park (once again, I apologize for posting so many, but I had a hard time choosing which ones to use).  There was even enough snow for sledding this year which hasn't happened for quite a while so the kids had tons of fun.

I don't know if it was a race between the brothers or the kids.

Madi loves to eat the snow.  Thank goodness it was all white.

I am so thankful for our family and love that we all live so close.  It was a great Thanksgiving weekend and we had a ton of fun.
