Thanksgiving 2009

Between food poisoning, huge piles of laundry, and cleaning I'm finally reporting on our fabulous Thanksgiving weekend. We got to spend it with lots of family and friends. Will had a wonderful time running a muck in Grandma's house all week and I enjoyed having someone to hang out with during the day. The only thing that made our trip better was when David arrived on the weekend. David wasted no time starting the Christmas celebration when we got home. He very unsafely put up our lights and thank goodness he didn't fall off the roof. For some reason David starts getting excited and ends up putting them up during the night. What a fun crazy guy.
We took Will to the temple lights and he loved it! He also enjoyed riding on his Uncle Micah. it was totally crowded but it was fun to see Will have such a great time.

Once again the Kolstads did well at the annual Bodine pie contest. We still think Davids score for his pie was totaled wrong because his obviously was the best. Our blueberry pie did place though. I shamefully had some major accidents on my personal pie, but in the end it actually tasted good! Ty and Step took home the coveted "Best Pie of the Night" but we are coming after you guys next year so watch out!


My family usually plays croquet on Thanksgiving and Easter. Will enjoyed pulling out all the wickets and throwing the balls. It was fun to have Tyler Klien participate this time-he is quite competitive.



My mom had to go with the buffet this year. Not nearly as "nice" but definitely more practical. She cooked for two days and I was glad to be around for the left overs!

I love eating my heart out with you sister. I watched the Christmas Devotional tonight and when they zoomed in on the flute duet I was missing on you! You are my favorite flutist, you know.
