The Whole Clan of Us...
Yep, we were all together for the weekend in Idaho! We don't usually ALL make it up to celebrate together in one year at the same time but this year it was X-TRA special to celebrate Thanksgiving and our Noble Christmas with the entire family TOGETHER!
Jeana's Ben brought his two sons Ethen and Owen so the fam got to meet for the first time, they hit it off with the cousins and they were perfect for Josh and Spencer, they are the same age so it was great having them...it was amazing how similar Josh and Ethen were from their facial expressions to their personality and looks. Here's the cousin picture, as of right now there are two more to add in the ovens (with Leah and Charlie's and Tracey and Jon made an announcement at Thanksgiving dinner, yep they are expecting also!!! Poor Tracey hasn't been feeling too well in the preggo sickness department.) That makes the BIG 20 grand kids for grandma and grandpa :) Anyone else???
Getting ready for...
some PAINTBALL, the boys had a friendly game of paintball on Turkey day morn.
The younger ones and girls played with grandmas toys, played a blessing game, wrapped a few fam gifts, played with the new Noble babies and of course prepped for turkey dinner.
The newest Noble Amielya Beth (Tyler and Rylee's little girl.)
TURKEY TIME, carving the bird and sparkling cider anyone?
The FEAST of YUMMINESS...
Mom as always had tons of cute decorations and our veggie turkey tray.

Pile it on everyone...Kids tables!
Tracey and Jon head this one up, leading the fam in a traditional song...
CANDIDS...
On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
The days that stood out to me that I remember were two Santa Sippy Cups and then three or was it four Ruby Red Slippers, everyone walked away with fun treats, Matt and I scored movie passes with the rest of the couples.
After Turkey Dinner, before PIE time- we had a devotional on Blessings and a fun 12 days of Christmas presentation put on by grandma.
The Goods, look at mom's pie's...they are always so perfect looking!
The dessert table was a perfect back or rather front drop for a guys and gals pic!
Friday, the day after Thanksgiving...it SNOWED! Yes, the kids had a fun time with just enough snow fallen to have a snow ball fight and to build a snow man.
We celebrated Jeana's birthday Friday with the family, Mom did a fun Turtle under the sea themed party and of course had fun and games planned to keep the kids entertained.
The kids cashing in at Grandma's Prize Store.
Look at those cute turtle cupcakes sitting on a lilly pad.
Wow, too much excitement for one weekend...
Friday after the parade and fireworks downtown Coeur d Alene, we had a visit from Gramppy Claus. Jarom and Emily were or narrators for the evening, it was cute Daphanee and Brooklynne were also part of the show!
What does Grammpy Claus have in his big red sack?
Oh the excitement...
Hope everyone has been nice this year...
Santa Hats and Fun Times all around!
Saturday we took the kids to Triple Play to have some fun with bowling, laser tag and arcades. Jon utilized the Raptor Reef water park as did Jeana's kids earlier in the week, we just took our kids swimming every night at our hotel since the pool and hot tub was open 24 hours which was great!
The Highlight of the Triple Play trip was Matt winning a i Pad from one of the arcade games! We actually didn't actually believe our eyes at first...it paid for all of the fun and games three times over so we walked away ahead...it was nice!
We had a great weekend with a ton of food, family, fun and holiday memories...here's a few pics of us adults being goofy!
Let the Good Times Roll...
