Thanksgiving 2015

This year we adventured off to Boise for Thanksgiving to be with Grandma Ellie and family.  It was so much fun and such a treat to be with family.  I think one of the highlights for the kids was ice skating.  Once Cami found out they had an ice skating rink outside at the nearby outlet mall, Cami would NOT let up on the idea.  So last minute, Jeremy gave Cami the okay... despite the teen degree weather outside!  So we bundled everyone up and hit the rink the minute it opened.
It was hard for Audrey to stay warm but Grandma gave lots of snuggles and huddled near the heating lamps.
Getting on the skates is no easy task.
And she was beaming! :)
Carson did well and was careful, but clocked his noggin at the very end, prompting him to finish a little early.  That ice is like cement!  
Alex was a pro at it :)  With an occasional biff.  But he got right back up and kept on skating!
In order to give Carson a little speed, Jeremy helped him along the ice.  
Craig was dying to go out there too, so Jeremy snuck him onto the rink tandem style ;)
It was nice there because they also had a little play ground to entertain the youngn's
Audrey did her best to stay happy, but it just got to be so cold!  But she sure looks cute in her get up ;)
To warm the chilled bones I took Carson and Audrey back to the van and turned on the heater and gave her snacks.  That brought out on happy baby :)
On Thanksgiving day we were able to have dinner with Josh and Amie's family.  Cousin time is the best!  
Audrey also made friends with Grandma pup Evie :)
We played, we ate, we shopped, we worked on little projects, we watched movies, we had a wonderful time.  Audrey crashed every night, and I couldn't help but take a picture of it :)
Thank you Gail, Josh, and Amie for having us!
