{ Thanksgiving }

This year Thanksgiving was with the Koltermann side of the family at my house. It was so great to have Mom & Dad back from their mission. We were all together except for Bryce & Brandi & family who live way to far away (we miss you guys!!!) We also had my Grandpa Davenport there for the day (who is in his 90's ).It was a fun day of lots of yummy food, games, rockband, children playing, football watching, and of course all of the women hunting the ads for the perfect Black Friday deals. (Michele, and Jodi & Mike were the die hards who got up early to get the best deals, Shalece and Troy chose to stay up until 4a.m. at southtown mall and the rest of us slept in and went to a few stores later in the day to see if anything was left.)








Check out Wyatt's masterpiece with the mashed potatos (it kind of looked liked a snowman's head, olive eyes, carrot nose and celery mouth) It didn't last too long though Ryan said no one should mess with the mashed potatos.



The whole gang!!!!!




I just love this picture. My darling niece Brynli was dancing in one of our dress up's and when she was done she would ask Ryan if that dance was good enough. If it was then he would have to dip here to finish off her performance. I don't know for sure how many times she did it but she got dipped everytime. We sure do miss having little girls at our house. Thank goodness my sisters have plenty when we all get together.

I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving! I didn't know Shalece was at South Towne mall... I have a friend who made me go with her at midnight, so I was there, too. :o) It was so crowded though....but I would have loved to see her! You have such great families, Melanie. I'm sure you guys always have fun holidays. I haven't seen you in so long! I miss you!

That was such a fun Thanksgiving. The only thing that would have made it better is if Bryce and Brandi would have been there. Thanks again for letting us stay at your house. That picture of the whole family turned out pretty good. I'm going to have to steal it from your blog. Oh I also love that one of Brynli and Ryan. I didn't even realize she was doing that. Thanks for taking pictures. Now I need to get on the ball and blog about Thanksgiving. I have a really cute picture of you and Sadie.

Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving! I bet it was so nice to have your parents home too! Blake is really glad to be home because he sure missed hanging out with Broc! I'm sure you will be flooded with phone calls now! Oh, and if Chloe needs to borrow some of Broc's Barbies, I will call too!;)
