Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was a blast...Especially with all of the babies. They were surely the little princesses of the entire time. If any one of them let out so much as a whimper, they were immeadiately on somebody's hip or in their arms. The schedule was strict---eat, take a nap, eat, play a game, hang out, eat, watch football (mostly for the guys...Although I did watch a game that was very exciting!) Here Princess Livvy Bug is enjoying her Auntie Natty.

We spent a lot of time just hanging out. This was after Daniel and I went running...Of which Daniel said was just "culturally wrong." I don't see what's wrong with a little exercise on Thanksgiving Day!

Snowfall was a great surprise...The kids (and me) got so excited!

Dad built a nice fire in the wood stove. He actually had his sons-laws gather the wood outside....

Zoe and Ellie are the best of friends! They share their toys very well (most of the time) :)

This is our bird, enjoyed by all, along with many gluten-free sides for Caity, Al, and me!

Wow! Now here's a sight...Daniel and Ryan setting the table...10 places!

Here's Olivia...She's wearing her new bib, entitled "Baby's First Thanksgiving."

Here's a clip of the chaos of playing "apples to apples," a game of comparison where each one sumbits a noun to fit a particular adjective. Here, the word was "smart" and Cherith was the judge. She suggested that there should be a card with her name on it...Everybody here is pulling for their own card, especially Daniel, who submitted "Darth Vader." Observe how he is impersonating Darth Vader...He does the impersonation once, everyone laughs...He then finds himself so funny that he does it over and over again. Caity ends up winning.

The girls had fun together also!

More about Lord's Days

And the fun continues. Little Elaina Grace and her parents, Todd and Anna, came to our house for pork roast in the crock pot. She enjoyed herself so much that she fell asleep in my arms. She, too, like us experiences the weird biological phenomenon of Sunday comatose naps! What a doll. Ryan, again videoed me without me knowing it...

I love Lord's Days Too!

Lord's days are so fun...especially when 3 out of my 4 siblings come with their cuties! I think I had a jaw ache from clenching my teeth so hard (cause that's what I do when something is too cute!) Anyway, after enjoying the rich spiritual supply, we also love to enjoy our physical supply!



Here, Johnathan is cleary ecstatic about the 3 deserts he's about to enjoy with his childhood friend, Troy Talent

Here are 2 of the 3 super-moms in the family...Uh Daniel, where were you? Just kiddin.
