Happy Early Thanksgiving!

Last week my whole family came out to celebrate "Thanksgiving." Because Garrett and Christina found cheap tickets for last week, we decided to all get together and celebrate early. Besides celebrating Thanksgiving, we didn't do a whole lot. We just hung out together. My favorite thing was seeing all the kids together. In my humble and unbiased opinion, they are the cutest bunch of kids you've ever seen. For lack of better words, I'm totally whopped over my nephews and niece.

Mom bought these outfits in hopes that we could get a good group picture. None of the ones I took really turned out but I'm pretty sure that Garret and April snapped a few keepers. I love the one below because poor Grant is at the mercy of three toddlers. Don't you want to pinch all those kids' cheeks?!?

The kids loved jumping on the mini tramp and sliding outside. I wish I had a picture of Tyler, Lily and Isaac taking turns on the slide. They would all stand in a line (with the help of a dedicated aunt or uncle) and wait for the other to go. Tyler learned (or at least we tried to teach him) a lot about turn taking. We haven't mastered the skill but are a little closer.

This is where we banished Mom and Grandma the whole time. It paid off because the food was AMAZING. Thanks ladies!! As always I wish I took more pictures but I was too busy having fun with my family. Tyler hasn't stopped talking about everyone. When I tell him about my mom or dad coming over or us going over there, he always mentions someone else, "April too? Christina too?" It makes me happy that he loves them as much as I do. It's crazy to think that just a few years ago my brothers and I were celebrating the holidays all by ourselves with no spouses or kids. Needless to say, we have more fun now than ever before.
