What a Happy Thanksgiving!

My parents and sister's family all spent the Thanksgiving holiday with us. The kids loved being with their cousins.

We had a great time being together, playing games, and shopping.

Our favorite games to play were Yahtzee, Liverpool Rummy, and Pennies from Heaven.

The card holders my dad made were a huge hit.

Even Ethan enjoyed playing cards.

We continued our tradition of writing why we are thankful for each person. Everyone acts like it is a bother, but I know they really enjoy doing it and reading all the special things about themselves.

We ate yummy food and stayed up way too late. I don't know if the late nights had anything to do with what we were drinking.

The little boys usually go to bed at 7 p.m. The first night they arrived they stayed up until almost midnight. Other nights they could only make it until 10 p.m.

Even dogs get tired after midnight.

Austin loved eating peanuts the best.

Tallie got stung by a wasp and had to take Benedryl. My dad is a great caretaker and comfort provider.

Tatum got into taking pictures. It reminds me of when I used to make Lisa pose for pictures. I don't think I ever made her pretend to pray, though.

I think this was my mom's idea.
