Marvelous Murrays: Thanksgiving 2015

Whenever there's a holiday and my Mom is around we have to make apple pies. At least that's how I feel. Katelyn is helping with the skin peelings.

Jordan had a lot of fun trying out the apple peeler. He also had fun eating up the apple pieces. What a great helper.

Happy baby!

I was so excited when I caught this photo. She moves so fast that I often miss the moment, but not this one... right in the moment.

Natalie loves to help cook anything. She has her own play kitchen but the real thing is always more exciting.

I've always thought that snow makes everything magical, calm, fun, and beautiful.

We got a blanket of snow to enjoy just in time for Thanksgiving! We had a great time playing in our snow filled yard for the first time since living here. It's so wonderful to create new memories and traditions in our new home.

Snow everywhere... we love it!

Kids ganging up on Dad for a snow ball fight. I wonder who gave them the idea?

Grandma Suzie enjoying the snow too.

Since we hadn't put our trampoline down for the winter yet; the kids thought it would be an excellent idea to go jumping on a snow covered trampoline. They slipped and slide all over the place, laughing and giggling the whole time. It was hilariously cute!

So fun to be in our yard playing together.

Thanksgiving at the O'Neals was a special experience this year. One you can't help but feel welcome at their home and two they had some exciting news to share... they are expecting another baby to join their wonderful family in May!

Congratulations O'Neals! What a surprise!

So I have this thing about jackets... especially peacoats and so I had to take a picture of Katelyn in her adorable self in this pink peacoat. Love her!

Here the kids are jamming with Uncle Ben in his drum room. Our kids have never had the chance to go crazy on an entire drum set. They had a blast rocking out!

Caught Charlie and Melissa being cute playing a duet on the piano together.

So it turns out that Jordan can fit in their toy washer. How do I know you may ask? They checked.

More jamming time... this time just father and son. Super sweet.

Everybody hanging out downstairs. Jordan and Heath have always gotten along great. Ben and Rebekah are always so welcoming to having family get-togethers at their home. I've always appreciated that and I know others do too.
