We had a great time with family over Thanksgiving... from an especially delicious Thanksgiving dinner, to my 30th birthday, to target practice, Husker football, baby dedications, late night games of Pit and just getting to catch up with all our growing neices and nephews!

Cleveland Brown's Game

It was not a warm day in Cleveland and the game did not end well for the Brown's... but we still enjoyed bundling up to cheer on the hometeam!
