Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed at my house and then we went up to my family's one room cabin and ate dinner there. It was a lot of fun with some of my cousins and their kids as well. Here is from left to right my dad, my cousins son Garett, Rodney, my little brother Kolton, and my older brother Kolby.

It's kinda small inside, but it's nice because we can all chat with each other.

My Aunt Jan brought playdough for the kids. It's a good thing too because it was rainy that day and the kids were getting restless inside! This is my Aunt Jan helping the boys with their playdough.

Here is my mom helping my niece Josi with her playdough.
This is my nephew Gavyn.

Outside of the cabin my dad piles up all of the limbs that he cuts off of the trees around the cedar field. We call it the cedar field because all around the cabin and our correls there are tons of cedars. Anyway, he piles them up and then as soon as we have a big pile of them we have a bon fire. We do this a couple of times during the year, we did it during Easter this year and then now at Thanksgiving. It is a fun tradition and when it dies down we roast hot dogs and marshmellows, although having it at Thanksgiving this year didn't leave us much room for hot dogs!

The kids love playing with fire and throwing more wood on.
Here is Rod and Katie eating a marshmellow after the bonfire!
Gavyn had a fake mustache and it looked so funny on him we were all laughing.
