Thanksgiving

Lincoln had a week off of school right before Thanksgiving, so we were able to go down to Springfield and see his parents. We had Thanksgiving dinner at our house, though, because I had to work at 4am Black Friday. We had so much fun hanging out with family and eating good food. We're grateful to have family that lives close and we can see fairly often.

If you follow the pictures you can see at first Bennett was excited to be at the table with everyone else. Then he was mad he didn't have any food, then he was given a roll and life was good again.

I love all the food at Thanksgiving. I just wish it didn't take so long to make.

We also got to have a small early Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Andreasen. We won't be seeing them again before Christmas, so they were nice enough to bring some gifts with them.

This was Bennett's first experience opening presents. We thought he would just want to play with the paper, but he was so excited to see what the gift was he didn't even finish unwrapping it. He just wanted to play with the buttons that were exposed.
