Thanksgiving Visitors - LOTS of pictures!

We got special visitors for Thanksgiving this year. Laura and family came all the way from Wyoming to spend the holiday weekend with us!  I also invited her to my in-laws dinner.  We had a blast! 

Here's some of our fun:

its all fun til someone gets hurt
 Adam and his sister Laura got hit RIGHT in the eye. Laura got it the worst.
Next year's addition - safety goggles!!


This year's addition was shields!! Cindy brought all these homemade cardboard shields! and we all decorated them (well not me- I decorated Creighton's).  these are everyone's shields. 



out of order - but adam's whip cream on the traditional rainbow jello
and his handsome face :)
 I didn't get many pictures of after. But we've had lots of fun playing games and just playing. :) 

Here's from today. Creighton and I saying bye to cute cute daniel! 


carl, cayden and joseph saying goodbye
the boys were so sad to say goodbye! Even through all the fights - they were the best of friends! 

I really enjoyed our visit. I loved being able to talk to my sister and catch up! I'm thankful that I have Family like I do. I'm also thankful that families are forever!
