Thanksgiving 2011

We usually celebrate Thanksgiving with Nik. He is very involved in the kids lives and they call him Uncle Nik. The day he flew in from Denver, the kids woke up and bounded out the door before 7:30 am. I wish they were as enthusiastic about going to school.
We were lucky enough to have Nik here for a week. We went to downtown Disney, Epcot, and Gaylord Palms while he was here.



The evening we went to the Gaylord, a show with Shrek was playing. It was wonderful. Alex danced to the singing while Gabriel and Lane were mesmerized by the acrobatics.




We went to an ice cream shop with a playground. The kids had a lot of fun. Nik was a sport about helping them with the rings.






Alex worked hard on the rings and did a great job



The kids enjoyed cheetos too. I love this messy face!
Our friend Odessa had a conference at NASA the week of Thanksgiving. We were grateful to spend time with her too. The kids adore her.


Gabriel was thrilled to have Odessa at our house. The games on her phone were an added bonus!


We were able to go swimming at the local pool while they were here. It was great to see the boys swimming to all of us. Thank you Odessa and Nik for sharing your holiday with us.
