Thanksgiving 2011

Okay, still playing catch-up...

Happy Thanksgiving! We are so thankful that Rob, Holly, Taylor, Porter, Hannah & Frodo came to spend Thanksgiving with us!!!

This is our makeshift banquet table--the food was delicious and prepared by all.

 Rob and Holly making the famous Hacking rolls--they did not disappoint

 It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a little (Packers) football.

 Taylor multitasking--watching football and reading

 Hannah and Shayla preparing the turkey favors

 Porter, Garrett and Grant playing Risk on the Ipad

 Braving the cold to play in the canyon--frisbee and races

The kids are really fast when they are this cold :)

 Miya LOVES Frodo--if she wasn't with him, she was running around the house screaming, "Puppy! puppy? Puppy!!!" looking for him.

 Rob and Miya enjoying the Holidazzle parade--a Twin Cities tradition--parade of lights that takes place every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. There was a great fireworks show to kick it all off.

 All the kids going to the North Pole at Macy's

 This Santa was the best! He even asked each of us adults what we wanted for Christmas.

I had to take a picture of the stroller (alias: coat holder) I don't know what we'll do when we outgrow the stroller days.

 Garrett thought he'd be funny and ask for a Polly Pocket for Christmas...
Ty and Porter asked for Barbies, Shayla asked for tofu, and Grant asked for a DS.
Miya and Tyler both asked for a puppy :)
I can't remember what Taylor, Holly and Hannah asked for...I asked for a day off :)
And Rob volunteered to watch our stuff so we could go in and see Santa.
This Santa was SUCH a good sport!

Miya was only a little scared of Santa.

It was such a great Thanksgiving! Food, Family and Football--everything you need to make a great Thankgiving!
