I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Mitchell clan!!! I have read all 4 of the books and each one just gets better and better! This little holiday novella is no exception to that!

Part I
Thanksgiving was a hoot I really cannot go into any detail without giving it away but there was mention of "shart", an angry turkey leg and two painted indians, and some pink nail polish... I'll let your imagination run wild with that. Colt and Van are hosting Thanksgiving at the Ranch and at their home and it is literally one thing after another. The whole family is in attendance for this including Ty and Miranda and the kids. This story made me laugh so hard at times I could barely see to read! Colt and Van are always so sweet and loving with each other. I always appreciate the contract between them and Ty and Miranda's characters who are always HOT & Steamy...

Part II
Christmas at Ty and Miranda's is just as good but didn't have quite the hilarious nature of Thanksgiving. Ty always the prankster really does a number on Van with her traditional family Christams photos. Just look at the cover and you'll get the picture! haha! What I LOVED about this part of the book was that we really started getting more of Connor, Miranda's brother. I was hating Connor for some time because he was just acting so poorly. He took Ty & Miranda's relationship and tried to rip it apart instead of seeing it for what it was. I really do think that Connor was jealous that his sister found true love and he is still waiting on his happily ever after. If I am not mistaken Jenn's intentions with him are becoming clear, but I could be wrong. In this fun Christmas with the Mitchelle's we have a run in with the police, and an abusive husband, not to mention some great new family photos and don't forget the smoking hot sex scenes with Ty and Miranda!

Jenn creates such a fun loving and funny family in this Mitchell series... I adore Colt, Van, Mirand and especially Ty!

Time spent with the Mitchell family is never boring and the holidays are no exception. We get to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with the Mitchell/Healy family.

First up is Thanksgiving at Colt and Van's place. And then its to Ty and Miranda's for Christmas. Ofcourse the whole family is invited including Miranda's yummy arogant brother Connor.

Between the practical jokes, kids getting into trouble, new parents just dying for some "alone time", last minute shopping, abusive husbands, turkey legs, chiggers, police officers and lingerie there is nothing oridinary about this family's holiday get togethers.

Lots of laugh and a little bit of insite into the 5th book of the series Wanting More about Connor!

This was a laugh out loud funny book. I couldn't decided which part I liked best (the shart, little indians, the wild turkey leg or the adult family Christmas picture). I think I just liked it all. You won't be disappointed when you read this.

This is a must read series if you haven't started it all ready. You will swoon over Colt, Ty and Connor. You will find yourself laughing, shedding a little tear here and there and wishing you were Van and Miranda. I can't wait to see what happens next in book 5.

I thought this novella was wonderful. I can never get enough of the Mitchells. This was a fun little extra to an already WONDERFUL series. You get to spend time with all of your favorite characters (Colt, Van, Miranda, Ty and Conner) I thought it was a fun look into what their family is like at the holidays. What a crazy and loving bunch :) And you can't forget about the sex....talk about HOT!!!! I also really liked how she set up the premise for her 5th book Wanting More. Jennifer Foor has done it again....I absolutely LOVE this author

Laughed out loud while I read this. The Mitchell family never failed to deliver their antics. I loved all the characters (except Rick), yes including Conner and Miranda's mom's fiance. Haha! I know this is only a novella but I can't help wishing it was longer though.

Thank you for this fun book, Jenn!

So much fun learning Mitchell family traditions! Love this series and love that we got a teaser of them before the next book. Really think the addition of what is happening with Conner is a great foreshadow of his story, which I'm hoping is next! However, I can honestly say I hope this series NEVER ends!!

I just love the Mitchell Family! The boys are good daddies, hot, sweet, tatted up, love their women/families and are with women that don't put up with their shit! The women are beautiful, good mommies, hot and funny as hell.
And Colt saying "darlin'".....

I really liked this addition to the Mitchell Series. Van came out of her shell a lot in this addition. Which I enjoyed a lot. It was the same old same for Ty and Miranda. I wish there was more with Van and Colt. Good read, can't wait for the next installment.

I was pulled into this story right from the get go, which is where I stayed until I had read every single word that was written. At the same time I had my mini movie playing along in my head. Love it when that happens.
Emotions run rife through this book, I went through each and everyone of them along with the characters. I have to admit though, there was a character or two I really wanted to punch, but they redeemed themselves before the end of the book. I might of cried once or twice, so if you are anything like me you might want to make sure you have tissues on hand.
There are surprises throughout this story, some you may see coming, where others you won't. Some are large while others are small, some of the surprises may hit you square in the face, where others may pull on your heart strings. But each and everyone of them holds equal importance within the book.
I have read this book on more than once and have enjoyed it each and every time, even cried at the same places.
I highly recommend this book and this author.

I first read this book 1/18 - 1/20/13. Loved it then & loved it just as much this time around. Wrapping Up is a Thanksgiving & Christmas novella when the Mitchell clan gets together. You will be peeing your pants reading this one. It’s full of humor & fun times.

More Mitchell silliness and drama in this short Christmas read. We do get a bit more of Connor, which is setting up the next boxset I'm sure.

Pov: male & female

Main characters: Colt & Savannah, Miranda & Ty

Minor characters: Connor (Miranda's brother), Amy (Miranda's boss)


My thoughts:

This story got a little preachy. And there was nothing really happening that moved the series forward. It was just a slice of life type story.



Synopsis:

Colt and Savannah host thanksgiving dinner. She's pregnant again and wants the dinner to go perfect. Colt's mom keeps offering to host it instead but Savannah says no.

The kids (Izzy and Noah) keep getting into mischief and Ty keeps prancing Savannah.

Connor keeps texting someone and Miranda knows it's Amy. She keeps reminding him that Amy is married. Connor tells her it isn't like that, that Amy just needs a friend.

Dinner goes great and everyone is happy.

Ty and Miranda host Christmas. There's a big snowfall and the roads are icy. Late one night they hear honking and find Amy on the road with a bloody nose. Connor brings her to his room.

The next morning Amy's husband shows up. Amy goes to talk to him and Ty keeps Connor in his room. Amy decides to stay until her husband sobers up. She ends up staying the night.

They have Christmas and it goes great. Everyone is curious about Amy and Connor.

WOW! I just love Jennifer Foor..lol She is one of my favorite writers! I love her writing style and creativity!

Now that I got that out of the way..lol. The Mitchell Family is my second favorite family!! OMG I loved this short little fun story. It was a great way to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas. I enjoyed how we got a little more of both couples (Colt & Van) & (Ty & Miranda)!! Colt is my pick, but you know-- I think I might be switching cousins..lol. Ty is SOOOOO FRIGGN FUNNY and HOTT DAYUM!!! Man ol man I do not think I laughed so hard reading a book before.

You have got to read this book! Another great one from Mrs. Foor!!!

Great Holiday Story! This story should be read between books 4 and 5. It is a great short story featuring both Thanksgiving and Christmas with the Mitchell family. As always there are a few ups and downs, how can there not be with 5 kids under six. The 5 adults who all act like more than kids half of the time with the fun and loved filed practical jokes add to the fun. We do get to learn a little more about Conner and Amy, cannot wait to read their full story, hoping that is what will be in book 5.

So I read the first 4 books and this novella. I was determined to give them a go but at this point I'm not going to read further.
Don't get me wrong I these books were Ok but I just couldn't wrap my head around the writing and the lack of contractions it made it very stilted.
A couple of the books felt long and drawn out to the point I was skimming and I hate doing that.
I'll move on to something else for now as I have hundreds of books on my kindle. I might get back to the rest of the series one day.

This series is amazing and with every book it gets better and better. I love every character but most importantly Tyler, he started as a jerk but he kind of grew on me and now i freaking love him to pieces! This series has everything you want, major heartbreak, major suspense, major hot and steamy sex, major romance. It has a message underneath everything and that is to live life before it's too late. Loved the series. Highly recommended.

4 and a half stars - would've been 5 but was too short (I know it was meant to be but I wanted more of the Mitchell family haha :P)

Loved seeing a bit of Amy and Connor in this one and cant wait to start the next one and see their story!

So funny - I cant help but laugh when reading this series. The humor is amazing - Love how Jennifer Foor has developed/written the characters personalities! :D

OMG..... I'm completely in love with this family. Ty is freakin AWESOME and has me chuckling to myself constantly (which make me look like a nutter in public, but I really don't care ha!) The dynamic between the the characters is written brilliantly and it really show how close they all are. I can't rate this series high enough and I hope there are lots more to come. I'm not ready to let the Mitchells go yet

OMG, this one was super funny. Two short stories with the Mitchell clan. The first, Thanksgiving at Savanna and Colt's was full of mayhem. We had kids being crazy, sex in inappropriate places, and a fight for a turkey leg that resulted in a black eye. The latter had me laughing so hard until tears came. The second, Christmas at Miranda and Ty's seemed more sedate, maybe sedate isn't the best word, but it was more sedate than the Thanksgiving madness.

I have spent the last week or so with the Mithcell's and loving very minute of it. I guess I'm late to the party of reading this series but I'm happy that I don't have to wait for the next book to come out. Since these books have been out for awhile now. But I'm happy so that is all that matters. Loving this series more by reading the next in line. Looking forward to reading about Conner and Amy. Five stars! A must read series.

Too cute! There's thanksgiving at Colt and Van's and Christmas at Ty and Miranda's. everyone else is present and there are quite a few oohs and aahs! The kids are growing and mischievous. The sex is spontaneous and hot! And the love is sweet and heartwarming. This was an awesome quick addition to the series!!

This might be my favorite book in the Mitchell family series. I always found Ty's comments funny, but this entire book was hilarious!!! I laughed until I cried over the whole Noah/toilet fiasco. It was so funny I actually called a friend and read that part of the story to her over the phone. I'll definitely keep reading Jennifers books.

This was a great add in 4.5 book. Between Thanksgiving & Christmas I couldn't figure which part I liked best between the wild turkey leg fight, the 2 brown little Indian's, the chigger bites painted with pink nail polish (male private parts) or the adult family Christmas picture- (Mr. & Mrs. sexy Santa's)WOW. Colt, Ty and Connor are really Sexy HOT.
