Our Fun and Family-Filled Thanksgiving 2013!

Our Thanksgiving this past month was wonderful! We enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving dinner with all the fix ins at my parent’s house this year, since it was my parent’s year to host my Grandma Ahlstrom. Aunt Margo even came! Jayden had a blast playing with all the kids as usual and we are SO happy to announce that next year we will have one more little one in the Ahlstrom clan! Ryan and Hilary are expecting a baby in May, and they told us at Thanksgiving dinner! This news gave us all even more to be grateful for! We can’t wait to live vicariously through them to help curb our baby hunger! ;)
We ended the night at home ready to decorate, when we found out that the family that would be staying with us were on their way that night rather than the next morning, so they decorated with us! Our great niece Hayley did a BEAUTIFUL job decorating the tree! Her and Jayden  had a BLAST decorating together.

Lindsay would wait until they swung to her, and then pretend to fall down. Jayden was laughing hysterically! It was so cute!

Thankful for Family and Fun in November!

The month of November was full of family time and fun! From cuddles in the grocery store, to High School Musicals, to chilling at home, to business meetings, to a bridal shower, to picnics on the living room floor, to hosting family for a week, to Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas (that post is up next!) , to date nights, it was a busy month, but it was a BLAST!

Tarzan was INCREDIBLE!!! They had tons of rope dancers dancing to portray swinging through the vines. It was SPECTACULAR! Made me anxious to get back into doing shows again.
