Thanksgiving in Iowa

Our Thanksgiving was spent in the great town of Marshalltown, IA at Chelsea's grandparents house.  It was the first time that we took Ace to another person's house for an extended period of time and he did great.  The weekend was spent playing games, eating food and shopping on Black Friday.

Here Chelsea is playing Bocce Ball with Grandpa, Uncle Brian
and his girlfriend Justean while Ace looks on.  Every time someone
threw a ball, Ace would freak out and try and go after it.  :)

Grandpa with a good toss.

Cousin Tori and Ace bonded pretty quickly.

From L to R: Josh, Caitlyn, Taylor and Emily playing a game.

through the ads to prepare for the deals on Black Friday.

Over my right shoulder, Chelsea is down the way a little
waiting to snag some $6 jackets for the younger girl cousins.

Grandpa and Uncle Brian fell asleep watching....

Cinderella!!!  :)  No children were even in that room.  Pretty funny.

While we were shopping, we kept Ace at Aunt Brenda's house.
Ace loved hanging out with Brenda's dog and Dan's dog.
Here are the three amigos.  :)

We had a lot of fun with the Aunts and Uncles, Grandma and Grandpa and all the cousins while in Iowa.  Thanks for the fun times and we look forward to seeing you all again soon!
