We spent our Thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family in Nevada. We planned this when we found out that Boise State was playing there this year. On our way over, we followed a caravan of Boise state fans. They all had flags flying on their cars. We stopped to let the kids use the restroom and we had to wait in a long line of blue and orange (about 30min.). The owner of the store said if he knew BSU was so popular, he would have put in two sets of bathrooms. ha.ha
When we got to my uncle's house we were so glad to see my grandma. She is a great lady. She has always had such a great sense of humor.
My aunt and uncle have the sweetest dog. We all loved her and I wanted to take her home with us.
Carson basting the Ham........what a big helper!
Our yummy feast!
Hot chocolate.........mmmm
Carson, Lexi and Libby.......all snuggling with Kyle=0)
Then Kyle and I were off to Reno for the big game. We had to stop in this big sport's store to check it out. This is what we found as we walked in. I should have taken him out while I had the chance. I figured my boys would be picking on him enough that night, so I left him alone........big mistake! That dirty dog.
We had great seats, close to the field.
We sat close to these guys. They were funny. Boise lost the game, which was a big bummer. There is no reason why they shouldn't have won that game. The fans over there were super rude too. We got the bird a bunch of times .ha.ha. Oh, well. We still had a great time. We were pretty disappointed though. Like I said.......we should have won that game.
Kyle and the kids built this awesome big snow man the next day. They also built two little ones. They had a great time.
My aunt Altie and Kylie
My dad, my grandma and I. I was so glad to see her. She was so patient with our kids. She colored with them, played hide and seek with them, and read books to them. It was a great time.
We had a long drive home that night. Kyle was needed at work, so we headed home in some bad weather. We didn't get home until about 2:30 in the morning. We all snuggled in my bed for a while the next day.
We have so much to be thankful for, and I am glad that Thanksgiving gives us the extra opportunity to reflect on our blessings each year. =0)

We made a cute gingerbread house after dinner. My grandma was really funny while we were making it. I saw her and Kylie eating the m&m's, and I heard her whisper "you know Kylie, if we eat these all up, then we won't have to put them on anymore". It was pretty cute.
Here is the finished product...

The store had this giant Ferris wheel too. It was pretty amazing.
Before the game..........all smiles
