Gobble, Gobble

Jack and Bella had a very exciting Thanksgiving and got to see a lot of people! We spent the holiday in Iowa with Grandma and Grandpa Norgren, Aunt Kara and Uncle Z. Aunt Kaisha was fulfilling her duties as a nurse and was not able to make it home for the weekend. We missed her! In Iowa we got to relax, eat lots of turkey, Grandpa Norgren dressed up as Santa (!!) and we even got to see some second and third cousins. Such a good time. We spent Friday shopping in Des Moines and eating lunch at Chili's. The service there was a little slow and Jack and Bella were so hungry but they did such a good job. They even enjoyed some bites of Mommy's milkshake while they were patiently waiting. Friday evening we left Iowa and headed to Holton to see our Ohio family. What a special time this was! We don't get to see them very often but we try and talk and keep up through email and with updates from Nana. Cliff, Susan, Samantha and Jake were so excited to see the babies and we were so excited to see them! Saturday we went up to the square to see Santa and have some cookies. Jack and Bella really enjoyed the cookies. Then we walked around a little and stopped in a little children's clothing store and got some wonderful new clothes and a beautiful flower headband for Bella that you can see in the pictures. She's so pretty in it! We enjoyed lunch at Popi and Nana's sports bar and then headed back to their house for some naps. We spent the rest of the day really just being together since that's all any of us wanted to do. It was so nice and we were so happy that the Buckeyes were able to make the drive out to visit. We can't wait to see them again soon! Maybe Vegas?!?! Still working on that one with Daddy! Cliff, Susan, Troy and Wendy.....cross your fingers! I am working on it!!!! Enjoy the pictures!
