Thanksgiving, "Christmas" and a Zamboni?

I think Megan was just a little tired after Thanksgiving round 1 at Grandma-greats house. Mark and I laughed so hard when we looked back and saw Megan sound asleep like this. She only slept for about 20 minutes during our road trip from West Unity, OH to Ann Arbor, MI she was just so excited to see her cousins.
After Thanksgiving round 2, we decided to open our not so secret, Secret Santa gifts for the kids/aunts/uncles. Megan learned very quick that opening presents was fun and she wanted to help everybody else open their gifts.

All of the kids are getting so big. They are all so cute, it was great seeing them.

Conary was exhausted! I don't think he was used to Liam's sleep schedule, poor guy. I just hope he was able to sleep on the drive to his hockey tournament the next day.

Megan and Liam showing off their Dala Horse from Sweden. Uncle Jesper and Aunt Lisa have purchased these horses for all of the kids. Megan and Liam both were very excited to have their own horse.

PIE!!! Blueberry pie...so good! There was 3 different kinds of yummy pumpkin pie, but Megan wanted blueberry.

I braved this group by myself to watch the hockey game. Everyone except Aunt Tracie and Conary we at the game, but our seats were kind of everywhere. We had Mark's work tickets so I had all of the girls in the 4 seats so they could sit with each other. The only rule was that they had to pound on the glass when Adrian scored. Of course they were very well behaved and I think that surprised a lot of people when they saw me walk in with all of them.

Mark joined us for the 3rd period.

We signed Crystal up to ride the Zamboni during the second intermission, but she got bumped so a grandchild of the tournament sponsor could ride. But since Mark knows the rink manager, he said Crystal could ride after the game. It was way past her bedtime but while she was waiting for her turn she had fun running around on the ice.

Does she look like she is excited? Megan was just as excited to watch her cousin ride on the Zamboni. Megan still randomly talks about Crystal on the Zamboni and somehow I think she will mention it for awhile.

Crystal being Crystal. She is always so animated, I love it! Keep in mind that she is doing this in an empty arena, just think of how much she would have hammed this up if she had an audience!

As you can see it was a great few days with family. Can't wait for all of us to get together again. We always have so much fun and all of the cousins love to just hang out and play, that is something to be thankful for! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
