We had a great Thanksgiving weekend filled with good food, family, and fun! The weekend started off on Thanksgiving Day as we headed to Ashley's aunt's house up in Denver, IA for our first Thanksgiving meal. We enjoyed a lunch of turkey, potatoes, fruit, veggies, salad, and pie. After lunch we hung out for a while, read the Black Friday ads, had some snacks for dinner and then headed home in the evening. On our way back in to town, we stopped at Erik's parent's house and said hi to Erik's grandpa, sister, mom and dad. On Friday Kyler, Ashley, and Ashley's mom went shopping for a little while in the morning and then came home to enjoy the rest of the day. Below are some pictures from Thursday's Thanksgiving.

On Saturday afternoon we headed up to the Volga Valley Conservation Club in Fayette to cut down our Christmas tree with Ashley's parents and brother. Ashley has been going up to this place to cut down a Christmas tree ever since she was little, so we have just kept the tradition going! It's nothing fancy, there's no Santa's lap to sit on or hot chocolate to buy, but you get to go out and cut down your own tree and support a good group of people. Here are some pictures from the tree hunt! :)

Our tree all up and decorated! (notice there are no ornaments on the bottom half...) :)
Our Thanksgiving weekend wrapped up on Sunday as we headed to Dows to Erik's grandparent's house after church. In Dows we enjoyed another fabulous meal and hung out with Erik's mom's side of the family for the afternoon. We then headed home early evening so we could get ready for the week! It's hard to believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone, but it has! Now on to the next holiday-Christmas!! Have a great week!
