When the kids got here Wednesday night we made apple pie. Makenna, Lexi and Ben had fun peeling the apples and eating the peelings.
Makeena was a very big help in preparing the Thanksgiving meal. With minimal help she made homemade rolls. She did all of the kneading all by herself. Below is the finished product. They tasted as good as they looked.
Right as the meal was ready Ben deceided to take a nap so here is a picture of everyone else enjoying the meal. Melissa (Travis' wife) spent Thanksgiving in Florida with her family.
After the meal we decorated the house for Christmas. Later that night we played a card game called "spoons". We really missed you, Alison! I do not have a picture of the game but I do have a scratch on my table now.
On Friday, after we got up really early and did some shopping. Lexi insisted on making Papa's famous fudge. I think everyone had more fun licking the bowl than making it.
On Saturday night we went to the Columbia Zoo. The zoo had a light festival and Santa was there. Here is Traci's family with Santa.
This is us and the grandchildren in front of the dancing lights.
Roasting marshmellows at the zoo. Traci and her family went home Sunday. Again I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.
