Thanksgiving in Steamboat~2012

Helping Nana cook

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week in Colorado!  I flew to Denver the Saturday before Thanksgiving with Isaac and Emma.  My sister-in-law, Kristy, also flew into Denver on Saturday with her two boys, Griffin and Sawyer.  Nana and Papa picked us all up at the airport in Denver, and we headed up to Steamboat for a great week.  The Rinn "boys" (Dave, Jon, & Michael) joined us all on Wednesday evening.  Needless to say, this made for a lot of fun cousin time, especially for Griffin and Isaac...Emma and Sawyer just mostly looked at each other.  ;)

Here are a few favorite pictures! 

Waiting at the airport early on Saturday morning..."Emma, look at all the airplanes!"

Griffin and Isaac playing...

...and making projects...

...and reading books...

...and more books...

...and even more books!!

One morning, we took Griffin & Isaac to "House of Bounce" in Steamboat.  They had a blast (and burned off a lot of energy.)

    

There wasn't much snow at all.  Isaac found this mound that hadn't yet melted near Papa & Nana's deck, and he played in it for a looooong time.  (He's definitely a Texan to be that excited about a small pile of snow!)

My mother-in-law is a fantastic cook--Thanksgiving dinner was amazing!!

Thanksgiving dinner!  (I think everyone was more interested in the delicious food than smiling for the camera!)  ;)

Yum!  Isaac said the pie was "tasty!"

The "adult kids" gave Tim & Susie a family photo shoot as an early Christmas gift.  Here's a sneak peek at our pictures...apparently, it's a little difficult doing a photo shoot with two babies & two 3 year old boys.  :)  Even so, we still got some cute shots!

  

Thank you, Papa and Nana, for such a fun week!  
We can't wait to all get together again!

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving, too!
