Thanksgiving in Logan

This year we had Thanksgiving at our aunt Karen's house. It was really fun to see our cousins, Uncle Kelly and Aunt Robin, Uncle Curtis, Aunt Karen, Grandma Luthi and Great Grandma Haderlie. My oldest cousin Linsey chopped off about 5-6 inches of my hair and I got bangs! I'm glad I did it though. My other sisters got trims. After our feast we went and saw the movie Bolt. It was hilarious! Our favorite character was the hamster, Rhino. He just cracked us up!
On Thanksgiving we also had some guessing contests. There were 3 different contests:
1- How much money was in the jar 
WINNERS=a tie between Abby and Casidy 
PRIZE= They split all the money-it was about 100 bucks total
2- How much the money jar weighed 
WINNER= Linsey 
PRIZE= $15  itunes gift card
3- How long the yarn was (it was sealed in a jar by the way...) 
WINNER=Maddy 
PRIZE= $15 Walmart gift card

One night we went out to eat at a restaurant called The Blue Bird. All of us kids had fun goofing off at the table :) The adults weren't too happy about us! Oh well! Me, Abby, and Maddy spent one of the nights at Casidy's house and we slept on a blow up bed. We would jump on one end and send the other person flying! We stopped once Maddy almost broke her neck. Don't worry--she was just laughing her head off! On our drive home we met up with the Draneys at Dairy Queen. As if we hadn't eaten enough! :)Kelsee author



We had a nice Thanksgiving. It was strange not to have my dad there. I kept waiting for him to come sit down in the kitchen and start chatting. We all missed his presence and felt a void. He was always up for a lively conversation. We went to dinner with my Aunt Joy and Uncle Guy and their daughter Ann (my cousin) and her husband. It was fun to visit with them. My mom, Karen and myself did some shopping the day after Thanksgiving and got some Christmas shopping done. And as Kelsee said...we ate plenty of good food.
