Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was more like a week this year instead of just one day.  There were at least 4 separate parties in addition to the normal Thanksgiving feast and countless other events and activities.  So much fun.  My boys were especially excited for Sophia and Isabella to come.

Playing tag outside before church was a big hit.

Eating and hanging out at grams house with everyone was fun too.

Poor Isabella and Sophia.  They deserve a 6 month break from my crazy boys.  They're so sweet and always play with them even if these boys want horsey rides.

We did pause to take a whole family photo.  This is the first one where all Taylor's siblings are actually married.  His mom is sending out Christmas cards with this one and calling the year "2 brides and a baby".  We took at least 20 shots and with this many characters it was lucky to get one where at least everyone was looking.

This is a close up of my favorite shot.  

Seriously?!?  I'm smiling and trying to get them to be good and smile and this is what they're doing?  

Maybe the card should say 2 brides, 3 dingbats and 1 princess.  What can I say.  At least they make me laugh.

These two though are quite the pair.  So cute and fun together.  And very well behaved.

I of course forgot to get a shot of the before dinner food but here's Ethan going back for seconds.

Have you seen these?  Taylor's aunt gave everyone one.  It's a little robot stirrer for the gravy so it doesn't get that crust on the top and you can focus on finishing up other foods instead of having to constantly stir the gravy.  Kind of silly but actually really useful.

This little cuties is close to sitting up.  Or at least she would be if she had any belly fat to help her sit up.  So adorable though.

The long week was capped off with our usual Sunday dinner.

Here's Isla with her birthday month twinner grandma.  The may girls.

Don't you love it when babies start hugging you back.  So cute!  Maybe it's just that she's tired and trying to show you that by rubbing her eyes on your face, but I'm just going to keep pretending that she's hugging me back.  I love it!
