We started our Thanksgiving break in Hastings. We spent our time relaxing, laughing at Monroe and Josiah, and playing games. Bridge, Up the River and Back, and 5 Second Rule were the games of choice. After dinner on Thursday, we took family pictures and got a lot of good ones.

On Friday morning, we drove to North Platte to see my family. We were excited to watch our two teams (Nebraska and Iowa) go head to head.

On Saturday, Grandma planned a fun project for the grandkids. They made an ice cream dessert with cool whip and ice cream sandwiches. The kids had a blast making it, and it tasted even better than it looked.

Caught in the act
The kids spent the weekend playing well together. Monroe learned how to play rough like the boys. Karter's rule that he made himself was that Monroe could push him, but he couldn't push Monroe. I wonder how much longer he'll show her mercy.

On Sunday, I took family pictures for my sister and her family. Here are some of my favorites.
We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend with both families.
Wow. That last shot is indescribably cute! Your ma is one fit grandma!
