Give Thanks

Happy Holidays! We had a great Thanksgiving with the Bolt side this year. Everyone gathered at Eric & Rena's house on what turned out to be a beautiful day. It's not often that you can be outside with kids all afternoon in late November. We had a bonfire, ate too much, went for a walk, ate more, wrestled on the floor (at least Chris & the kids did), and then played games after the kids went to bed.

After hearing a lot of yelling and commotion coming from down the hall, I go in to investigate....
"What are you guys up to?"

Kyler is so great at sharing - especially if it means he can get rid of his fruit and vegetables!








Carve that turkey!
 


Kyler and Evan's favorite activity: Running!!



On Friday, we went to Nisswa to see the "lighting of the city." There were reindeer (alpacas), santa (the kids kept their distance from that freaky dude), horse drawn carriages, live music, crafts, and a lot of festive Lakes area folk.  

Kyler and I returned home to Minneapolis Saturday evening. Sunday was spent covering the windows with plastic (woo hoo!), and decorating for Christmas. We got a beautiful tree and it looks amazing!

We are so thankful for all that we have. My heart goes out to all those who are suffering and struggling this time of year. Chris, Kyler and I feel so blessed to have our health, our families health, and to feel loved by so many. Happy Thanksgiving!
