This year Cameron managed to stay out of the ER on Thanksgiving Day! It did help that he didn't play in the Turkey Bowl to cause any further injuries, but that doesn't mean he was completely careful with his activities Thanksgiving weekend. My dad always has projects for Cam to do when we visit, and this time it was cutting down limbs off of some dead trees in their backyard.
I was prepared this time with my car keys and insurance cards in hand just in case we were destined for another ER trip on Thanksgiving... but as luck would have it, Cam and my Dad finished the job in one piece which my Dad was a little excited about!
My parents live close to Bronner's which is the largest Christmas store in the world so the girls and Stacey and my Mom and I took a day trip over there and Hallie and Sydnee loved looking at all the lights and Christmas decorations. This is just one little section of the store... the whole store is completely decked out like this, it's pretty crazy but fun for Christmas lovers!
Sydnee's favorite Christmas tree was this one with bubbles as the trunk, it was kind of cool.
In one section of the store, they had a ton of Christmas villages set up and Hallie loved watching at the little towns light up and the skiers skiing, etc. Here's my sister, Stacey, my Mom, Syd, and Hallie.
The day before Thanksgiving, my parents invited Cam's Aunt Kathy and Uncle Sam over (since they are in the same stake as my parent's are in... small world huh!?) for dinner. Hallie finally made the connection that Aunt Kathy was the one who gave her her favorite baby blanket when she was born. Kathy felt so honored that Hallie still sleeps with it every night.
Kathy was the entertainment of the night with her funny stories of Christmas when she was a little girl. She is such a great and animated story teller, we loved seeing them again!

It looks like you guys had a great time. :) I would LOVE to go to the Christmas store! Hopefully this coming year we will all be able to get together, we always have so much fun with you guys!
Those Turkey bowls get you in the end. Billy got hurt in one over Thanksgiving but you probably alredy know that. Those decorations and Christmas exhibits look amazing! My kids would be running all over trying to touch everything! Still looks fun though.
