Two Thanksgivings

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Russ had to work at the fire station, so we did the Jensen family thing and then the fire family thing. It was hectic, but fun. We had Thanksgiving lunch at my in-laws with all the cousins, etc. We played and let the food settle a little and then we headed to Murray (about 45min) for an awesome dinner cooked entirely by the firemen. Several of our friends were there, so it was a good time. The boys always love going to see dad, especially when there are other kids to play with and the adults are pre-occupied with eating and visiting.

Colton's first Thanksgiving! He actually loved his mom's orange jello and the potatoes. (this is a kid who eats maybe 2 bites of food a day) The boys had fun making little turkeys with Grandma and the cousins.

The kids table at the station. They waited so patiently!


Playing in the firetruck is a must.


Laying with their "blankets" (aka white towels use dry the fire truck) watching Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving . . .
until Cody crashed the party!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I couldn't help but wonder if your firehouse Thanksgiving would be interrupted by a turkey-on-fire situation. :) I think The Santa Clause has tainted me. Your boys are so lucky that their daddy is a REAL fireman! We should have stayed living there long enough to take Russ up on a fire station tour (my parents live in northwest Sandy right new where Russ works). Maybe we still will ... some day. :)
