Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I am thankful that my entire immediate family was in attendance for Thanksgiving this year. I'm thankful that my Mom knows her way around a kitchen as well as she does. I'm thankful that my Dad is a willing and eager helper outer. I'm thankful that my parents still welcome their three nutty children and their families with open arms. I'm thankful that I like my brothers. I'm thankful for freedom of speech. I'm thankful for the sun and the moon. But mostly, I'm thankful for my two beautiful, healthy and amusing children!

On with the pictures!

Behold the bird!

Linc was really excited about the bird (boy does he love turkey)...

Have I ever mentioned how much I love this boy?

Lincoln also likes sparkling cider ("Mo cider peas!")...

Ava loved the sparkling cider this year. Cheers!

(love HER bunches, too)

Silly girls...

Card tricks with Uncle Jeff...

Fancy (and somewhat creepy) girls!

The boys exploring the neighbor's yard.

Lordy, we have got to watch those boys every second!

Eh, I'm thankful for this guy too...

This is pretty much how Louis spent the day...

The "after party" back at home...

What a day!
