Gavin's first Thanksgiving was a lot of fun! We travelled to Emmetsburg on Thanksgiving day and we were able to spend time with a lot of Brian's aunts and uncles who we haven't seen in quite awhile. This the first Thanksgiving that Brian and I have spent together in the state of Iowa too! We did a lot of fun stuff while we were in Emmetsburg for the weekend.
Friday night Grandma and Grandpa took Austin and Colton to the light parade on Main Street. It was pretty cold outside so they got all bundled up in their snow pants to watch the parade. They came home with their pockets loaded up with candy and glow sticks!
Brian took the boys out on the frozen lake! There was absolutely no snow there but the lake was frozen enough to walk on. I was a little unsure about it but it was actually lot of fun. Austin and Colton were pulled around on the sleds (on the lake) by Grandpa, Brian and their uncles. They thought it was pretty fantastic. I joined them and we walked on the lake to the park. Could not believe it was 47 degrees and we were walking on a frozen lake. Anyway, beautiful weather on Saturday so we were able to spend a couple hours at the park.
Brian got a Christmas tree all set up for us in the living room and the boys and I decorated our house on Monday and the tree on Tuesday. We are officially ready for Christmas at our house! The boys ask daily if Christmas is tomorrow!! They are definitely excited for all the festivities and of course for all the presents!
