Happy Thanksgiving, Lauralei's 7th birthday, and we found a little Norway in Canada!

Thanksgiving was so nice this year. It was just our family, but there are a lot of us! Last year we were apart. So we were so thankful to be together again. The pictures are the kids watching the Macy's Day parade, Ethan helping me cook, and our feast.

We celebrated Lauralei's birthday as a family, and it fell on the day after Thanksgiving. Next year it will be on Thanksgiving day. We had a nice "quite" time. Here are pictures from her day. She had a Cars cake and got Cars PJ's for her bitty baby twins. She chose pizza as her special meal.

Lauralei's big present this year was to go to Canada. We took her to the Vancouver aquarium. Chris and I took Ethan years ago and it has always been a fond memory of ours.

This was Ethan about Kinleigh's age. We also got to meet up with a friend from Norway. Here's a picture of all of us in front of a tree in the same parking lot about 8 years apart! Here's a picture of the last time we saw Victoria before we left Norway (she had to go back to college so we said goodbye to her right after Christmas of 2009)! She's holding Lilliana who was 5 months old.
