Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

We once again headed up to Oklahoma for our annual Thanksgiving celebration with Nick's family. The boys got right back into the routine of chasing around the cats while inside and running around with the Tonka trucks while outside. The weather was great, just cold enough to feel like fall, but not too cold to enjoy some time outside!






He kept running toward me and trying to crash into my leg. He was quite amused by it all!


Here he comes again!


Close-up!!!


It's a fine line of Matt teaching Jonathan how to work things, and Jonathan feeling like Matt's not trying to steal toys from him. Sometimes it works out.


Even though the football was bigger than his head, Jonathan wanted to be involved.


One of the boys' favorite activities is climbing in between the trees.


Matt found an awesome "hill" for the truck to climb.


We took the boys to Incredible Pizza while we were there and Jonathan got some more driving practice in.


Matt got a scooter for his birthday from Nana & Pawpaw. He loved it, but not as much as Jonathan!


Matt kept his helmet on in case he wanted to get back on the scooter.


The helmet came in handy for truck driving.


Jonathan was back at it.


Look at that smile!


Matt's turn again.


Cousin Dom brought over his skateboard, and Nana though it would be a good idea to try it out. Nick didn't think it was such a good idea, and let his protest be heard. Nana insisted, and Nick insisted on holding on for the ride.


Pawpaw jumped in for added safety down the driveway.

Matt went off to pout about something (I had woken him up from his nap so he was sure to have some afternoon time to play with his new scooter- silly me), so Nana went to see if she could cheer him up.


More sneaking through the tree!


He's going to make it!


Sticks + dirt + boys = fun for hours!



Nick and Steve were putting the Christmas lights in the trees, and Jonathan got a bit curious about the ladder.


We stopped for ice cream one night on the way back from dinner. Although the McDonald's was close to the house, the boys ate what didn't melt, and then had a mess to contend with by the time we got home.


Jonathan's first ice cream cone!


What a cheesy grin!


Even cheesier!
