Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone and a week later I'm finally getting around to loading pictures. We enjoyed spending time with both sides of our family and had such a great long weekend!

Maddison spent a few extra days in Illinois and Gammy & Papa brought her over for a play date.

The girls had so much fun playing together! They even played ring around the rosey with Gammy!

And then they put on matching pjs and shared a banana.

Thanksgiving morning we headed to Greg & Kathy's so the girls could get some play time in. Maddison wasn't too sure what to think about Great Papa Kuipers, but Claire knows who to keep on her good side!

Of course there were lots of attempts to get agood picture for a Christmas card.

Claire thinks the Great-Grandma Ficklin's cane is pretty cool.

And attempts to get good pictures of the girls. This is the only picture where bothe girls are smiling and almost looking at the camera. So what if they have their fingers up their nose!

After lunch we head to LeRoy. There wasn't a lot of excitement with the Builta side of the family. We just hung out and ate some more!

On Friday, we worked around the house. Trever put up the Christmas tree and waited for Claire to get up from her nap to check it out. She thought it was pretty cool and has been pretty good about leaving it alone. However, I did catch her driving a choo choo train ornament across the kitchen floor.

Friday night we went to Champaign and met the Read side of the family for dinner. Claire really wanted to take Congo with us, but we left him home. That's pretty much the extent of our holiday weekend. We have a big weekend ahead of us. Claire will be spending a lot of quality time with Papa Wayne while Trever and I take 2 heifers to a sale in Chillicothe. Keep your fingers crossed that we sell the heifers for big bucks and that Claire doesn't need very many diaper changes!
