Happy Thanksgiving!

 We enjoyed a wonderful vacation to visit Grandma and Grandpa Roberts.  It was fun to be with all the family.  (Grandma hugging Landon and Cooper)

 Landon loved the dog running under his legs.

 Spencer and Landon seeing how high they could jump... I think they jump like their mom - maybe they'll grow out of it.

Playing with Aunt Stephanie

 Nick and all Three boys - They look so handsome all together.

 Uncle Derek and Landon... Derek brings out the crazy in Landon :o) It doesn't take much though.

 No caption need - "What a Stud"

 Steph and Landon working on their gingerbread house.

 Spencer, Grandma, Grandpa, Jen, Nick, Landon, Kristi, Steph & Cooper.

We had fun decorating our houses!

 Derek with his Egg Nog - Nick and Derek promised to have it all drunk by the end of the week...

I think Derek did more than his fair-share!  I think he had to chug the last little bit so they could finish the bet.  

 We all helped my dad putty holes in the sun room so they could finish painting the baseboards etc.

Kristi, Derek and Nick playing games.  Nick and I finally got tired of playing Alhambra because Kristi beat us so many times.  Just for the record that is not super common :o)  Maybe I have Pride issues.

Airport Pick Up!

 Kristi and Derek flew into the IF Airport for Thanksgiving break... Let's just say we thought it would be fun to dress up!

 Sadly to say I think my costume was great... We looked ridiculous.

 Steph seeming a little to natural under the circumstances.

 I'm just glad we didn't get kicked out... These days I'm surprised the airports put up with any humor!

 We waited forever!

 Just about here... then the embarrassing moment - an old high school friend walked off the plane right in front of them.  I felt like a dork.  I should have turned around to hide, but instead I said hello.  She laughed!  

Worst part - she really didn't seemed to shocked... maybe I'm more of a nerd than I thought :o) 

Yes - they did spot their ride even with their names spelled wrong.  All is well that end well.  

Working on the Mud Room Bench

 We started here...

 This is us building the box or the base of the bench.  Good work Nick and Spencer...

 Yes - I am proud to say I helped too.  Actually, we always work together on our wood projects. It safer that way and a lot more fun! 

Putting the bench inside...

Our finished project!  We are pretty proud of it.  We started in October though and didn't finish up until the end of March.  We aren't super fast :o) but we sure had a lot of fun working on it.
