Thanksgiving week

 We had the best time in Idaho. It makes my heart so happy being in Idaho it always feels like home. Jake and the kids love it there and love my family just as much as I do and that makes me love them even more! I am so grateful to my grandparents for taking Jake in as one of their own and loving us and our kids so much.

We were all squished in grandma and grandpas house, but wouldn't have any other way. The kids had so much fun all playing together. We got to see some of my cousins that were in town and we had so much fun catching up. We went to a movie, the park and our favorite restaurants. We went out to see Grandma Schraft for a few hours, she was sick so we didn't get to see her except for that :( We went black Friday shopping and I got a new phone and did some Christmas shopping!
We celebrated mom and dads 52 birthdays and Kylee turned 27 and Jordan turned 3! So we had a busy birthday week along with thanksgiving.

 Kylee got a puzzle for her birthday so everyone chipped in all week to get that done. A lot of the family went on our own turkey trot 5k down to the falls. We colored 
thankful for placemats, I loved seeing what my kids were thankful for. Emma put all of our family and the things she likes, Noah put Jesus and our family. Then asked when Jesus was going to come pick up his note. Benjamin hurried and put his family so he could continue playing. I had the best time we played new card games all week. I loved playing with all my family from my kids, to cousins, to sisters, to parents and grandparents! I worked really hard all year and put together a legacy video of my grandpa and finished it this week. We all sat down and watched grandpa's life story and learned new things and laughed at memories. We had a delicious thanksgiving dinner and all stuffed our faces before we went shopping and played more games. Thank you grandma and grandpa for letting us come in and crash. We love you so and our whole family so much!

A few weeks ago we celebrated Thanksgiving with Jake's family at DeeDee and Fadi's house. She cooked a yummy dinner that we all just ate and ate. We went across the street to the park and the kids rode bikes and did cartwheels and handstands, ran around and played football. We had new great company and it was so fun chatting. It was so fun being able to have all of Jake's siblings there and kids spend the day with cousins.
