Thanks Fest '09

Yes, I'm a little behind on some of the bloggage. So I decided to post not one, but, wait for it....TWO posts. Thanksgiving and Halloween.

My parents hosted 20 family members at our house for Thanksgiving this year. Cousins, 2nd cousins, cousin-in-laws, aunts, grandmas, you name it. It was a full house with lots of energy. I missed Thanksgiving last year because I was in New Zealand, so I ate enough to make up for the last two years. Oh, and leftover turkey sandwiches too. It was great to be with family again. There are many things to be thankful for this year, I hope you had a blessed holiday:)


Babies are cute. But half-naked babies are even cuter. They love to be naked, I don't know what it is! Here is Haylee and Mitch. Cousins. Mitch is 3 months younger than Haylee, yet Mitch is bigger. By a few pounds. They were so cute and wiggly!

This was our entertainment Wednesday evening. The cameras and camcorders came out and we were smitten!

The annual turkey carver.

Nice spread.

The Family.


All of the 2nd cousins. I love Haylee falling over.

Katie, Bryan and Mitch.
Little fam, lots of hair :)


Mitch has the biggest, most kissable cheeks!

More cheeks!

And he's out.
