Thanksgiving Candids

Pies, guacamole, turkey, cousins playing, laughing, generations, no one holding their own babies, good friends, table filling the room, 5 kernels of corn... Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 (Gary's reading the Thanksgiving story; we have 5 kernels of corn on our plates; the kids are in the kitchen) :)

Snow reindeer/teddy bear?

Dog sitting

For the first time ever, we have a dog in our house. We're dog sitting Pippin for some friends for a few days. So far it's been ok, though the poor cats don't know what to do with themselves when he's out! And yes, you can pray for Christian to survive. :)

7 is Elijah

Judah was a trooper and put up with his dragon costume, and it was pretty funny watching him try to do things like drink or...I don't know, SEE

Birthday boy!

Dragon hugs!

If I didn't already want to just squeeze this kid...

 

Looking forward to meeting baby R!
