Thanksgiving and A First Birthday

We have much to be thankful for this year!  We headed to the Lake to celebrate and give thanks! 

Trying to get a pic of our matching jammies!



We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Martin's Cabin - Family photo opp! 
The kids!  The Lowes were not able to join us this year at the Martin's as they were with Erik's fam in Northfield.

The guys got some wood spitting done - the weather was perfect for this activity!

One of our favorite things to do all year at the Lake is the Lighting of the Town in Nisswa the day after Thanksgiving.  We have been going to the event for MANY years - the event has grown a ton since we  first went when we were kids!  We headed to town early so we could take in all of the fun before bedtime!  We bundled H up into his bunting with plenty of blankets and headed off on a hayride through town. 




Santa and his reindeer were in Nisswa too! 

We moved H's birthday party with the Have Fam back to the Cities so that the Lowe's could join us…although a bout of stomach flu kept them home!  Before we left for the Cities we let Henrik open his gift from us…a workbench!

First Birthday!






Everyone loves a tent and tunnel!










First birthday with the Nelson Fam in Waseca!





We probably could have skipped all the gifts and just gotten balloons… he LOVES to play with balloons!
