Thankful

It has been a fun but long few weeks around here. We have had lots of family in town but also lots of sick kids. 

First the good. Our niece had her first baby 2 weeks ago. The kids are in love and just wanted to hold her. Hayden is so tiny; she's smaller than Beck was when he was born. I was most surprised how much Beck wanted to hold her, but he didn't want to give her up. Camden was sick, so he didn't get to hold her until he was better a week later. 

 This year for Thanksgiving we hosted and had Grandma and Grandpa Arrington over to eat. I have to say I was pretty nervous to cook a whole turkey, but with a lot of help from Brad, it turned out great. We had lots of good food to eat. 

The day wasn't just filled with lots of good food, but we played games as well. We started a family Heros game (it's a fun game on the computer).

 Emery made a game up as well. She called it Turkey Touchdown. I'm not sure any of us understood how to actually play the game, but she loved that we all played her game. 

We also taught Grandma and Grandpa to play Ticket to Ride. After games we went and the "The Star". It was a pretty cute movie that all of the kids loved. 

For the not so fun part of the week, every kid got sick. It started before Thanksgiving break with Camden. Next came Beck then Jacks then Emery. Even today when the kids should be going to school, Emery and Jacks are home sick. Brad and I have yet to get it. We are just waiting for our turn. Maybe we got lucky and it wont hit us.
