Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We did our usual Kendallville lunch with Nik's side of the family and then to Ohio for dinner with mine. Friday Nik had to work for a half day and I got to stay home with the kids. That evening we went to Jefferson Pointe and got some Christmas family photos taken. Even though it was a lot of work (mainly because of Jordan), the picture we picked out turned out awesome. I will have to scan it and post it on here. While we were at the studio, Jordan got away from Nik at one point and started hitting buttons on the security system. The police called to make sure everything was alright and the alarm went off. It was extremely embarrassing.

On Saturday afternoon, Lance's family came over and the kids all jumped on the trampoline. That was pretty much a lazy day. On Sunday we put up the Christmas tree and more decorations around the house. The most snow we have had this winter came down on Sunday morning. So after church, the kids made a snowman and went sledding down our steep driveway. The boys have never been sledding before, so that was extra fun for me to watch them, and they had no fear, which didn't surprise me since they both love to jump/dive off the diving board at the pool. It was a great memorable weekend.
