Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving at our new house this year was so much easier  because we have so much more room for the kids to run around and play!We had everyone over to our place for several reasons.  One Kyle was just born and it was easier to be at home.  Two, the Austin Klubniks were in transition with their new house being remodeled so they were living in an apartment. Three, why not? Ha

 

A few family photos before the gang arrived!  I love the look on Kyle's face!  He looks like a little man and not quite sure of his surroundings!

And I also love this picture of Allie because she is in mid air with a little smirk on her face!  She LOVES to swing and loves to have people around who will swing her!

The cousins outside playing! And as you can see it was really warm outside!  And because of that, Allie did not get to wear any of her fun Thanksgiving outfits as they are for cooler weather... oh well!

 The meat fest with two Turkeys (1 smoked, 1 fried) and one ham!  Luckily, the Austin boys eat a lot of meat because Jon and I don't!  We had a lot of food and a lot left over for take home bags!

 Riley and Carson with Kyle.  Carson is so sweet always wanting to hold him and he is so good with him.

 The cousins, minus Amanda who was off exploring

How times have changed... all on their IPhones!

Everyone watching Shrek.  Allie was not quite so sure about it but wanted to fit in!  She was SO excited to have all her cousins over and talked about it for days before and days afterwards!

The Austin Klubniks stayed the night and Allie was so happy to play with them again!  She especially likes Cade because he is the closest to her age!

 Jon and Allie in the hot tub!  They even got in the pool for a bit as well!

The look on Allie's face says it all- "I am tired and worn out and therefore quite cranky!"

Our Thanksgiving Tree this year and Allie's artwork!  We have so much to be thankful for this year and  so glad we can look back on it with happy memories!  God has blessed our family with Kyle, good health a quick sale of our old house and a wonderful new house with super neighbors.  With Allie making a lot of transitions and doing OK with them!  Jon has had a great year with the business and we were able to buy him an office outside the home.  We have wonderful family and friends who have helped us tremendously.  And we are thankful for each other and opportunities we have had together.
