Thanksgiving this year was simply wonderful. Our first stop was Grandma Patty's, where we were given Bears clothes for our little ones to grow into by Casey and Carter. They are my Aunt Darcy's boys who are about the same number of months apart as mine, only 13 years older! They are also a pair of Bears fanatics. :)
Looking a little rabid in these pics, poor Unlce Colt was the rear of a few jokes this Thanksgiving. The day before he was bitten by a racoon! He was coon hunting with my cousin Austin and Austin shot one in the foot (you are suppose to shoot them in the head to preserve the fur, to be sold later). The racoon was ticked and bit Colt in the knee. When I asked Colt why he just didn't shoot it, he replied, "I didn't want to waste the fur." :) Oh brother.
As of Thanksgiving Day the brain of the racoon had been sent to a nearby university to be tested for rabies. We joked that we had a loaded gun in case he started to foam at the mouth.
The results did not come in soon enough, so Colt got the series of rabies shots, just to be safe. :)
We rounded off the day at Grandma Wendy's where we ate yummy hamballs and cheesey potatoes. Aunties Tasha and Madi were waiting there to create our game plan for the Annual Black Friday Extravaganza.
The boys went back to Grandma Gayle and Grandpa Dan's where they had a slumber party with Uncle Nate and Aunt Natalie.
And at 11 pm the three shopateers headed to the big city for a little rough and tumble Black Friday fun...
After sleeping for much of the day on Friday, that night was the lighting of the courthouse in our little town. They had a Santa at the courthouse and you better believe we were the second in line. ;)
Ok...shwooo...now that I have the Thanksgiving post off my back I can get ready for CHRISTMAS! I have lots of cute random pics to post as we curl up at home and wait for this guy to come!
