Thanksgiving in MN 2012

We celebrated Thanksgiving in MN this year. It is a long drive, so Mommy had some fun surprises for us in the car when we got cranky. :)

Playing with our cousins. They were really happy to see us.

I (Jack) hurt my neck when I was there and Grandma gave me a special heating pad to make me feel better. Even when I wasn't hurting anymore, I still wanted to wear it like a cape.

Everyone at the table!

It started to snow! We rushed to the door to check it out. Our MN family thought that was funny since they see snow all the time.

Wrestling!

Elly and Caleb  ran out to play in the snow!

I (Jack) didn't like the snow. It was blowing in my face, so Ryan stayed in with me to play games.

We made a trip up to see Great Grandma by the lake. It was SOOO cold! It was nice to see her and she has lots of fun trucks to play with.

This is one of Daddy's favorite places to be.

Grandma gave us "I love my Papa" shirts.

Auntie Kim had Kianna and Malia's birthday party while we were there. We always miss out on birthdays and their birthday is close to Christmas so we got to go this time!

The next day everyone came over to open Christmas presents because we weren't going to be there for Christmas day.

One Direction puzzles!

Minnesota sweatshirts just like Daddy's

New Thomas tracks!

New rug for cars!

On our way home, we drove through Iowa so we could meet Mommy and Daddy's friends, The Petersons,  for lunch.

I got pretty bored.

We ate at a restaurant that gave us tractors to play with while we waited for our food. It was so cool!!

Our food came in trailors!

This is Lucy. Mommy thought she was so precious. We just kept playing with our tractors. :)

On our way home again.

Reading "The Monster at the End of This Book"

We got up the next morning and set up our new tracks and played with all our new toys! We miss our MN family so much and can't wait to see them again.
