Thanksgiving Dinner

This year for Thanksgiving dinner, we headed to my aunt's house in Kingston.  We were there last year and it worked out so well with the kiddos, so I was glad we were there again!  Jackson was delighted to find his two favorite cousins - Brookelyn and Mason and loads of toys - including a Thomas.  :-)

 

Ethan was a little overwhelmed with the walls of death - I mean, mounted deers, bears and even a real Razorback.  :)  He actually did not want to be anywhere near them, but he did want to keep his eyes on them... and point. 

Ethan was excited to see his Mimi....

Lately, I've noticed Ethan developing quite a liking for my dad.  I find this perculiar since Jackson was quite the opposite until he got to be about 2 1/2 or so... My dad has a loud voice - but Ethan doesn't seem to mind at all.  He ran to my dad as soon as he walked in the room with his arms stretched out.  I almost shed a tear.. That's pretty special. 

This year we had a few additional members of our family join us!  Baby Hadley is our new addition this year - and he's 6 mos old now.  His grandpa (my uncle) is pretty proud!

 

My TWO grandmas were there! 

(My mom's mom - Betty on left and my dad's mom - Imajean on right.  Interesting tidbit - they are BOTH twins.)

 

While Mason and Jackson stirred up trouble...  Ethan was seeing what all he could get into!  At 16 mos old, this one can climb!

My Aunt Becky gave Jackson a bowl full of.... nothing else but... whipped cream.  Yep.  Jackson thought he was in Heaven.  Needless to say, he does NOT get this at home.  Oh well, it's Thanksgiving.  :) He was excited to show off his empty bowl.  Ha.

 

I wish I could've gotten a LOT more pictures of our family.  It seems I spend a lot of time behind the camera, which I love... but this Thanksgiving, I just wanted to visit.  So that's what I did.  We had 32-33 (we couldn't get the count right) family members at Thanksgiving dinner... and that's a lot to be thankful for!!
