Thanksgiving in Colorado

For Thanksgiving this year we made the treck out to Colorado to visit my mom and dad and my sisters and their families. Unfortunaltly we arrived to my sister Linette being in the hospital so my first 3 days were spent in the hospital with her. We were all thrilled when she was realeased befor Thanksgiving so we could all be together, and so Emma could see her Auntie.


One of the first nights there, my dad made his famous shrimp boil! 20 pounds of shrimp and all kinds of yummyness. But since I came with news that Emma was now going to be a big sister, I could not enjoy the yummy shrimp. Still it smelled amazing and everyone else ate it all up!


Emma and Uncle Erick are hard at work at the construction site while the shrimp is being prepared.
Getting in lots of giggles and playtime with Uncle Gabe and Victoria.

I didn't take a lot of photos my first couple of days in Colorado since I spent my time in the hospital with Linette. Emma was not permitted so Donald would take Emma sight seeing around the town during the day, but sadly he didn't take any pictures either...so on to....


Thanksgiving Day.

Emma enjoying her turkey dinner.

Most houses have the kid table but my parents house has the teen table. All my nieces enjoying their Thanksgiving meal.

Daddy and Emma skipping stones at the pond behind my parents house.
Erick caught his biggest fish yet this year and had to show it off to the girls... he even let them touch it.

Emma got a chance to hold the mino too! She was so thrilled.

Emma got a hand at the fishing too! Alex was a great help and Emma was thrilled with her little mino.

Getting ready for the family picture. I never did get one with all of us in the photo. Was hoping my sister would send me a didital so I could up load it to Emma's blog.

Playing with Uncle Gabe while everyone was going through the ads for black Friday and watching the game.

My mom went through her kindergarten supplies and pulled out some fun crafts for the girls to do. Victoria was so kind and helped Emma out with her scar-crow. It was a fun way to end such an exciting day.
