Thanksgiving fun

Our trip to Oregon was so much fun. I know I say this every time my kids get with their cousins, but I LOVE COUSINS!!! There isn't ever an awkward moment, they pick up where they left off...it's so fun to sit and watch! I don't know why I'm always fascinated by it, because I'm that way with my cousins! Ally, Annie & Hallie were probably my favorite to watch. Parker was in that mix too! On the night before Jeff & Amy's wedding (which will have it's own posting soon!) all of the adults went to Stanford's for dinner. Britt & Hayden were left to watch all the grand kids at Vikki's new house. We didn't get a phone call and that told us that things were all good! When we came home, everyone was happy and busy playing games! I love it!
The grand kids all enjoying their pizza...waiting for all of the adults to leave!!!
This is Vikki's son Paxton...it was the first time we got to see him! He is a happy guy, who looks just like his daddy! Jay met him in October, but for the rest of us this was a first!!!
On Thanksgiving day Jon & Kim gave Jeff & Amy their own LEVI QUILT...that's what Kim does!!! It was fun to be there and watch them open and notice all the personalized stuff on the quilt. Jon & Kim also announced that they are going to have baby #4...YAY!!! I'm a little envious, and they are in SHOCK!!!
Ally & Hallie...yes I get them mixed up a lot!
The gang hangin' at Vikki's...below you can see that Vikki was giving us a RECORDER performance of Chariots of Fire...she has serious skills!!!Below are some of my favorite pictures of the three little blonde's...ALLY, HALLIE & ANNIE


The Modjeski boys wrestling with Jay...I wish I had sound bites of the Dads & Grandpa Mike yelling out technique pointers to help each person gain ground! I think in the end size is what really mattered...although little Cooper took big Jay down!!!
Hula Hoop game with Gramma Jackie...everyone stands in a circle and you have to pass the Hula Hoop to each person while all hands are linked. It was really fun!
Ally showing off her Hula Hooping skills...she got 3 going! This picture makes it look like they all are about to fall, but she was able to get them all in sink and keep them all going! I've seen her do this a million times and it still is mind boggling!
Ally writing her letter to Santa! She really just wanted to sit at the fancy desk in the fancy chair!
Parker and Ally enjoying spaghettio's and mini bagels!!!
Gramma Jackie made I think close to a million rolls for Thanksgiving dinner! I might have eaten half of them ;)
The kids table...everyone was in heaven!
Those cutie girls!!! We had such a fun week. Lots of late nights and games and chatting! Vikki and I went to New Moon with Britt and we all wished we had stayed home. I was surprised at how disappointing it was! (I know not everyone feels that way) I hope Eclipse is better!!!
