Thanksgiving and the Living History Farms race

The weekend before Thanksgiving, Grandma Pat, Uncle Jeff and I ran the Living History farms race. It was AWESOME! We dressed up as TMNT (which Hudsen thought was really cool). The weather was FREEZING but we still had a great time. There were 5 creeks to run through and plenty of hills to climb. Definitely some memories that will never be forgotten!

After the race we had Thanksgiving with Jeff and Lina and relaxed for the rest of the day.

On Saturday night we headed to Cedar Falls for a Thanksgiving celebration. Everyone was able to make it back and the kids had so much fun playing with the cousin. Is it great when we all can get together. The kids are at the ages where they play so well together. The big ones (Hudsen and Payton) help the littles out (Grace, Eleanor and Isabella).

Then Wednesday of that week, we made our way back to Graettinger to celebrate Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving at my parent's house when we can see my aunts and uncles, cousins and cousin's kids. This year there were tons of kids around Hudsen and Eleanor's age. They all had a great time and entertained us for most of the night.

When asked what they were thankful for this year, Hudsen replied that ISU beat Kansas in the football game and Eleanor just smiled and laughed.
