Even though it is a week gone by--Thanksgiving is worth posting about. I love Thanksgiving because we get to see family we don't see often--and we get to eat foods we don't eat often!
This year was a "Nordfelt" year so we all (and I mean all 80 something of us) gathered together at the Institute building for food and festivities.
Here are the younger kids having a little foot race! Go Carsen go!
Next was the "older kids" turn for a potato sack race....Chad and I won! (I mean, kicked butt!)
On Friday evening we were invited over to my sister-in-law Kelly's parents house for some gingerbread house making where a surprise visitor was a hit! Carsen was so excited to see Santa. In fact, he couldn't wait to tell Santa what he wanted.....and he didn't. When Santa walked into the room Carsen shouted, "Santa, I want a gun!" (Not sure where that one came from...as we all know, he already has a gun.)
Carsen sat on his lap and was even confessional in telling Santa, "I don't sleep in my big boy bed all night." (It's something we've been working on. He keeps wandering in to our bed in the wee hours of morning.) It was adorable!
Carsen with his cousins Katie Bug and KC listening intently to every word Santa had to say.
Carsen and I making our gingerbread house. Okay, so I did most the work....He was content eating the candy.

It looks like you guys had a GREAT Thanksgiving, filled with lots of fun and family. I laughed at having to reserve the Institute building for your family. . . too funny!! Myka is sure getting big, and they are both as cute as ever!!
Nice pictures! :) I am excited to take more at Christmas! Santa is coming!!
Yes, thanks to Kelly's blog for half the pictures on my Thanksgiving blog! (I was too lazy!)
I bet you guys kicked butt at the potato race...your awesome!! I am sure Carsen kicked some serious rear too. Fun Thanksgiving time!
Fun Thanksgiving! I laughed about Carson asking for a gun. We have a home video of Danny getting on Santa's lap and all of the sudden you hear Santa say "what?! a gun?" Too funny what little boys wish for!
Hey Keysha! Love your blog. The pics are so cute! I'm glad to hear you and Chad won the potato sack race!
