Thankful!

Our family has so much to be thankful for!  We try to remember this always...not only on Thanksgiving!  However, what a great time to see those that we love and spend time with them!  We only had school on Monday and Tuesday, so Wednesday afternoon we headed to my parents house.  We were there for Thanksgiving Day with Mom's family, and stayed through Saturday morning.

Friday we hung out at mom's and watched the Hawkeye/Husker game...didn't like the outcome of that, but oh well!  After the game we celebrated Mason's birthday with everyone.  He just does NOT like the attention on him and acts so funny during the cake/present opening!  Silly boy!

Getting the candles ready!

With his requested basketball cake that mom made and dad decorated!

Not working very hard to blow the candles out!

Carefully cutting the cake!

Mason was thrilled with toothpicks!

And loved, loved this fart gun!  :)

Saturday morning we met the Baker family for Disney on Ice.  It was a great show with great company!

Buzz is back!  This year he brought a friend...Uncle Si!  They even followed us to Iowa for the weekend.  When we got home tonight we noticed they were on top of our van!  How did they do that and not fall off?!?
