Thanksgiving 09

We went home for Thanksgiving for 10 fabulous days! We had a great time visiting with friends and family and stayed very, very busy! J made his debut and was of course, a huge hit! N and M had fun playing with all of thier cousins and friends. We always have so much fun!

Not many children are fortunate enough to know their Great-Grandparents and my boys are blessed with two. Monniemoo is Daddy's grandmother and we all adore her. We always go to visit her several times when we go home.

My grandfather, Poppop, came down from Washington, DC to meet his newest great grandson and spend Thanksgiving with us.

We spent Thanksgiving Eve with all of Daddy's family at Jean Mommy and Papa Nelson's house. It was so much fun to be with all of our cousins. The boys all had a fun football game out in the yard.

All of the boys! On Daddy's side, there are 7 grandchildren... 6 of which are boys!

The sweetest cousin of all... Annie Jacob and baby J!

M preferred watching the football game between all of the big boys and uncles from between the rails of Jean Mommy's porch.

N played with the big boys... and hung in there pretty well!

Another sweet picture of A.J. and her newest baby boy cousin. Poor thing, I am sure she was hoping for a girl!

We went to Aunt Jane's house on Thanksgiving for lunch finished the day off with Thanksgiving dinner at Gracie and Bob-O's.

Bob-O wanted to take the boys camping one night. He set up a tent and the sleeping bags and all of the equipment. They made a fire and roasted marshmellows. The boys were really excited and about 30 seconds after they left, they were back! M had changed his mind. When I asked him why he didn't want to go. He said, "Mommy, I was scayud." Of what? "Da owuls and da dark, and da fwogs!" Gracie and Bob-O live on 3 acres and it was VERY dark outside and VERY cold! N went with Bob-O though and they stayed out there all night! Bob-O said that N said he was cold around 5 a.m., so he crawled in the sleeping bag with Bob-O. He had a great time and it was a fun memory with his Bob-O.

We had a fun time visiting with some of our friends. Although we did not get to see a lot of people this trip since it was so busy, we did get to spend an evening with the Harris' and an afternoon with the Holland boys.

J got to meet Walter who was born 2 weeks before him. My sweet friend, Kaci, and I each have 3 boys. It was fun to get to spend the afternoon with her and introduce the newest two boys. 6 little boys ages 5 and under was quite an experience!
