Thanksgiving & Christmas Rolled into One

For Thanksgiving, we headed to Sibley to spend a long weekend with my family.
Thursday was the DeJong (my mom's side of the family) get-together at church.  This was the crew of mostly great-grandchildren with a few younger grandchildren added in as well.  Unfortunately, Annie missed this picture because Paul had taken her back to my parents for a nap.


But she was still able to hang out with her cousins!  She took fondly to Jilian...and her phone!



Thanksgiving evening, my mom, Ruby, and I got to pick up Hattie and Brandon from the Sioux Falls airport!!  They didn't know who was picking them up so Ruby hid under the seat in Grandma LaDonn's truck and grabbed their ankles when they got in the backseat!  Hilarious!

After bath time with Aunt Hattie :)


Thanks for the hand-me-down big sis/little sis jammies, Kelsey and Ashlyn!  Ruby and Annie love them so much!




The Hawkeyes played Nebraska on "Black Friday" so we all dressed up in our Hawkeye gear and snapped some pictures!  Grandpa Bill and Grandma LaDonn with their five grandchildren. 
We had a full house for the game!  And the Hawks won!



Saturday morning, we played some games with Hadley!






Hattie and Brandon were not able to come home for Christmas so we decided to celebrate early!  
So our Thanksgiving weekend turned into Christmas with more good food and opening presents!



Tate and Jace got super hero jammies!


These two can get on each other's nerves sometimes but we caught this sweet moment!  They were snuggled up in Grandpa's chair for quite some time, giggling away!


Ruby with her new watch!




After the kids went to bed, we played the saran wrap/oven mitt game.  Brandon won ;)


We had to head back Sunday afternoon...but we were able to catch a few pictures first!
Annie and Grandpa looking at one of Grandpa's hunting magazines.  Annie LOVES deer.


Me, with my brother, Kenny and sister, Hattie
Love them.


Someone couldn't be left out.


And these two took a nice car nap on the way home.  Signs of a fun weekend!


We always have a great time with family and this weekend was no exception!
