Thanksgiving 2013

I have a sick 3 year old who just fell asleep watching Curious George and a napping baby....I was cleaning the kitchen...and then I spotted my computer, begging for my attention!  Hopefully the illness will pass quickly and leave the rest of us healthy but for now, I'm going to use the chance to catch up with a few holiday pictures.

Welcome to the Compound!


Thanksgiving 2013 was great.  We started the day in Sherrills Ford with my Dad's family.  As always, a great time and great food.  I love holiday family time!

My attempt at a fruit tray turkey.  It looked better in person.  Thanks P!nterest!

My Uncle Alfred, My Dad, My aunt Moe's brother, Patrick, "little" cousin Cole, and handsome hubby Chad.  I think they were supervising the kids playing in the floor! 

Who wants a turkey leg? Little guy LOVED it!

All the cousins weren't there for Thanksgiving but it gave Moses, Rachel, Payton and Owen a little extra quality time.  Moses still occasionally asks if Payton is ever quiet...I think he is realizing that no, he is never quiet!  Rachel loved playing with them and made tons of rainb0w l00m bracelets for the boys! Thanks Rach! 

Bailey has been living with Grandma and Grandpa.  I miss her terribly but I know she is loving being there with them.  Despite the excess dog hair, daily walks and potty trips, I know they are loving her being there with them too.. 

So thankful for my family!  Complete with all my boys on Thanksgiving day!

After lunch, we headed back to East Bend for Thanksgiving dinner.  We had a great time with Chad's family.

Dalton made Sawyer laugh and smile

Sawyer is already on that phone!?!?

Sawyer meet Malachi, your "big" cousin

Malachi and Sawyer, our newest little turkeys!

Malachi is nearly 3 months older than Sawyer but you sure can't tell!  They are almost the same size.  

 

And, by the end of the night, we all felt like this.....

Especially thankful for all the blessings in our life this year.  What a wonderful year it has been!
