Thanksgiving Weekend 2016

The weekend before Thanksgiving we took a little day trip to Dyersville.
Our first stop was the The National Farm Toy Museum.
Pierce and Travis loved it!!
{Cash, Kroy and myself wondered around...}
Pierce could have looked for hours!

We then headed across the street to the Plaza Antique Mall.
Pierce and Travis looked around forever and then picked out a few tractors to bring home to our collection!

Cash looked around and all he found was the Barbie section!
So he came home with this beauty!

 We then ate lunch at Chad's Pizza... It was amazing!
We moved onto Field Of Dreams movie site {No pictures...not sure what I was thinking!}
And our final stop was in Guttenburg to watch the barges lock through the dam.
On our way out of Guttenburg we stopped at a scenic overlook for a family pic...
This is how it went....
So we ditched the kids and made it a mom & dad only pic😉
So pretty!

It was a great day but we were all glad to get out of the vehicle at the end of the day...
....8 hours later... just saying! 😜

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving Travis and his brother Austin smoked meat all day.
Travis also baked a turkey for the Heitman family Thanksgiving.
Here's Travis carving the turkey and all his taste testers...Austin, Pierce, Makenna and Cash!

 Taylor and Brynnleigh wanted to be on Kroy duty (some of us had to work!)

We went to my parents to hang out and little Mr. Leo thought he could fit into the baby high chair😆

Puppy love🐾

We didn't have anything all day on Thanksgiving!
Later that afternoon we headed to Travis' parents for Heitman Thanksgiving.
Carter and Kroy

Rayce and Kroy

Great Grandma Alice and Kroy

Capper and Heitman kids!!

******************************

Iowa played Nebraska Friday after Thanksgiving.
We didn't have any set plans but I booked a babysitter a few weeks back so Travis and I could get out of the house!
Later on Thanksgiving my friend Stacy texted and said they had 2 extra tickets and wondered if we wanted to go... HELLS YES🏈

So we took off Friday morning for the 2:30 kickoff!

Our friend Molly and her husband Aaron (from Ohio!)  joined us tailgating!
It was so much fun!!
The three of us were inseparable in high school and although we live hours apart, it's like no time has been lost when we get together!  Definition of a true best friend!!

Guys got in for a picture too!

Yay for a day away and adult only conversations😄

So.Much.Fun.

*********************************

The rest of the weekend was spent decorating for Christmas, playing board games and Thanksgiving with my family!
Love Kroy's smirk😏


Too many games to count!

No pictures of my family Thanksgiving this year.  I'm not sure what happened there😞
We celebrated on Saturday after Thanksgiving and my sisters family had the flu.
The food was amazing as always!!  My mom always puts on a feast!

******************************

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the ones you love!
I know we sure did!

I am still in shock Christmas is 12 days away!!
We are finishing up our shopping this weekend and I'm hoping to wrap on Sunday...YAY, I cannot wait!  My boys are going to be SO happy with their gifts!!

We are doing 6 gifts...
-something you want
-something you need
-something to wear
-something to read
-something to do
-something for the family to enjoy (board games!)

Stay tuned!!
