Thanksgiving and Pat's 40th!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The weather was unseasonably warm and we were able to be outside with just sweatshirts and tshirts! It was fantastic!

Up are Gma we needed these stylish hats. Functional and fashionable!

The boys even were able to get out an fish! They caught a few and boy were they tasty!

We new the weather was too good to last! We woke up friday to this! What a difference a day makes!

Next stop on our holiday triangle was Gma and Gpa Van's house. All the Van Nelson boys were gathers so they decided to Skype Aunt Kt for home holiday cheer!

The new sibling tradition is to play the 5$ open/steal game. Since 3 or the 4 siblings were at gmas house we thought it would be fun to play while skyping (is that a real word now?) Kt and Brian. Oh the wonders of technology.

Next reason to celebrate...Pat's 40th Birthday. Woohoo! He handled it way better than I did. We enjoyed is requested dinner and carrot cake muffins! yummy!

We opened the presents and he cracked open the gift some Heike....interesting booze! Thanks Heike!
Happy Birthday Pat, lets hope for another 40!
