Turkey Day Weekend

We had a fun and all too fast, Thanksgiving weekend with family!

Although our numbers were lower than usual this year, we still had quite the delicious feast!

 Jarad and Sienna putting finishing touches on the table.

 Lin and Deahna were the queens of the kitchen! (I asked for a picture and this is the side they chose!)

 Steve being "manly" and carving the turkey.

 I chatted it up with Grandma Pat while they finished things up.

Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm so thankful for my amazing husband! I love you!

 I'm also very grateful for my Sadie-dog (even when she does beg for turkey).

The table was extended so long with all the food that I had to do two sides for the pics.

 One end....

 to the other- covered in yumminess! We ate way too much this weekend!

A Morgan/Reddekopp tradition is Black Friday shopping.  This year was no exception- in fact- it may have been the longest one yet!

 Lin, Deahna and I did the majority of the shopping but Jarad joined us at one point.  We ended up being out shopping, eating and at one point, sleeping in the parking lot from 8 pm Thursday evening to 7 am Friday morning. WHOA! We had fun and got some great deals though.

Other than a lot of eating and shopping, we also did a TON of game playing.

 We introduced our new favorite card game (thanks Joe & Cara), RAGE. Deahna is deep in though about her next move and Jarad and Sienna are debating who's right or had the best move, which happened frequently.

 These two- pure trouble! Sienna always wanted to sit next to Jarad and he was more than obliged!

We helped a little with Christmas decorating and even got to see Grandma Pat again before we left.

 Jarad, Grandma Pat and myself in front of the family room tree.

As usual, our Sadie-dog got to play and romp around with her best pal, Zoe!


We're so grateful we were able to spend the holiday weekend with family and so THANKFUL for both of our families and all they do for us!
