Be Still and Know...: Thanksgiving up north in East Jordan

It is hard to believe that Christmas is in 5 days! Rebecca and Kyle are very excited about Christmas and the waiting for Christmas eve is getting to be overwhelming! Thank goodness for advent calendars and for links they can cut off to know how many more nights they have to sleep before Chrismas! They each have picked out and wrapped their presents to each other, so it is taking every ounce of holding back to not tell what the other's present is!!!

Thought I would post some of our Thanksgiving pictures before Christmas pictures go up!!

We enjoyed a nice long weekend up north over Thanksgiving at Grandma up north's and Grandpa and Grandma Kelly. The Moreau cousins were also up at Grandma up north's so the 6 cousins enjoyed playing with each other and especially riding on Uncle Jerimy's snowmobile! They also love sledding down Grandma's hill and the near misses to sledding into the creek! I think the highlight was the 20 plus turkeys walking through Grandma's yard and the grandkids running into Grandma's room early in the morning to let her know that the turkeys are in the yard! (Even though she sees them every day!!) Unfortunately, I came down with an intestinal virus that left me nauseous and with no appetite. By Saturday, (sorry for the graphics) the virus decided to leave and diarrhea began!! However, I did manage to go to Walmart the day after Thanksgiving with Mom, Jaydee and Blake and Garrett. The boys were so funny - they thought because they were getting up that early and going that they would be loading in the gifts....not so much! But Grandma did make their day by letting them pick out 2 things at Kohl's and they found a $5 video game, which was the steal of the day!!

Unfortunately, the virus made it's way to Andrew and only mildly to Rebecca and Kyle and then Grandma reported that she was down for the count later in the week as well!!! A Thanksgiving to remember....I guess!!!

Enjoy the pics!!
