Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We ate twice...On Thursday we ate at the station with all the firefighters and their families since Hartman had to work. It's become one of our favorite traditions. Then on Friday after being up all night shopping from midnight to 7:30 am with LaRon for black Friday, we had another Thanksgiving meal at our house with just family! We have so much to be Thankful for and wanted to share our top five at the moment....

Our family, LaRon & John & their kids, Hartman's sister Jennifer & her family from Idaho were all at our house for Thanksgiving on Friday!

Isabella enjoyed getting ready with her older cousins Shara & Audra

We played games & watched movies

We enjoyed all the yummy food! We love our traditional Southern Dishes as well as John's famous stuffing & his delicious turkey!

While Hartman was working we took the girls with Jennifer & her family & Julie & her kids to see the water show at the Bellagio & the Gardens. They loved it!
