Thanksgiving

The kids were soooo excited when their cousins James, Isla, and Rosie arrived from Minnesota. We started off the day with a trip to Uncle Mike's bakery, home of the world's best kringle. We tried two different kinds and they were huge and delicious. Aunt Stephanie arrived later that night and it was so fun to have a full house of family!

We made a trip to the children's museum and the kids had a blast. The kids put on a talent show that night and there was lots of Thanksgiving food prep. Ben attempted his first pie crust with instructions from the pro (my dad).

On Thanksgiving some of us started the day with a 5k run. It was raining but it was the warmest day of the week with a high of 40. Elsa was my running buddy and did an awesome job. She loves to talk while running. She and I are at about the same running pace these days. We had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner followed by lots of delicious pies. It was so nice just to spend the day with family.

 Simon passed out in the middle of a tantrum after we got home.

My dad gave some of us a tour of his new office building the next morning. Lots of interesting looking labs and equipment. It was fun to get a glimpse of the cheese making process.
