Lining up to skate with the high school team

Finn wanted me to take his picture.  Its blurry but funny with his smile.

Heading to hockey with Grandma and Grandpa Carrithers

I didn't do a very good job with taking lots of nice pictures, but we had a fun Thanksgiving break with Grandma and Grandpa Carrithers.  They came up to Minnesota to see the boys, the new house, and enjoy lots and lots of hockey.  On the day they arrived, Luke and Liam skated with one of the local high school teams.  It was really fun for the boys and a great way to promote the sport with younger kids.  Those high school hockey players are gigantic!!

The boys also enjoyed a U of M hockey game with Grandma and Grandpa while they were here.  Finn stayed home with Mom because the game lasted way past his bedtime, but the big boys had fun. Finn, however, went to his first movie while Grandma and Grandpa were here and enjoyed it for the most part.  He lost interest a bit towards the end, but he sat while he ate his popcorn.  We saw "The Good Dinosaur."  We originally intended to see "The Peanuts Movie" or as Finn calls him "Barley Brown", but when we arrived it was only in 3-D.  We were not sure Finn would wear the glasses during the movie so we opted to do something else.  The dinosaur movie was pretty good, but perhaps a bit intense for a two year old.  I should probably do a little more research next time!

Lastly, Grandma and Grandpa were able to see Luke, Liam, and Aiden skate and practice with their hockey teams this year.  That was fun for the boys and fun for them.  Luke enjoyed playing chess with Grandpa, Liam enjoyed having them here and sharing Thanksgiving, and Aiden enjoyed having them watch him play hockey.  All in all, it was a fun time, and the food turned out pretty good too!
