Thanksgiving in Ohio

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with our family in Ohio. They had their first snowfall right before we arrived, so on Thanksgiving morning, we had a sledding adventure. This was the first time Will and Nick had gone sledding on a real hill with ample snow, so we were pretty psyched about it!

Here they are, enjoying the ride.


My turn, with Nick.


Nick learned the most important lesson any Ohio kid can learn - don't eat yellow snow!


And PaPaw (my dad) got into the act, too! Note the ramp just to Papaw's left. It'll be important in the next photo when he attempts to jump it and...


takes a tumble!


And comes up laughing. What a sport!


We headed in for dinner later. Here are Nana and Grandma Kindig checking the meat. I'm pretty sure the oven wasn't behaving.


After a delicious dinner, we headed back outside for more snowy fun with Papaw and Mookie, the snowdog.



Dad attached the sled to the lawnmower, and we had a blast pulling each other around the backyard.


Will was meant to be a farmboy. He looks right at home on the lawn tractor!



A few snowballs were thrown. Go Will!


Dad and I goofed around with the camera while we waited for our turn.


And exhausted Nick did a terrible job of pretending to sleep with the dog and cat! He's cute, though!


Snowy fun in Ohio! What a treat.
