Thanksgiving

Well the first thing you do when you arrive at some one's house for Thanksgiving is to ensure there will be plenty of food.  So brother John set a crawdad trap.
Then took Nathan fishing to catch us some delicious bass.  
(Nathan played the native American role in our Thanksgiving feast by providing the fish)
The girls meanwhile discussed what place cards should be on the table.
Then took a break to play.
Cousin Adele and Eliza bonded over strollers,
baby dolls,
riding in the wagon,
and fried chicken.
Brother John also cooks, he made 9 delicious pies and a fried turkey.
Papa also cooks, he made stuffing and a spatchlocked turkey.
You see my plan, I only had to make rolls.
The boys played a lot of video games.
The girls made lots of crafts, hunted for snails in the lake,

and caught a bird.
The Thanksgiving feasters.
I see some of us did not get the blue/ gray color scheme memo.
The Thanksgiving feast, partly consumed.
Nathan demonstrating how to eat a turkey leg.
Adam was only interested in the sody water.
Mason was in agreement.
Annie only looks stuffed.
You must have light eyes to sit at this table.
Jack had a meal of rolls and meat.
Eliza said "mmmm delicious."

Nathan polished off the leg, he must have inherited his father's stomach capacity.
On Friday we visited a small zoo.  
Brother John wanted to compare whose Arab nose was larger.
The best thing about this zoo is that you could feed all of the animals.
Apparently most will eat popcorn.
The pig checking out the zoo goers.
All the chitlins.
Llama, Llama needs to visit the orthodona. 
On Friday we took a ride on the mini trains and visited with Santa.
The brown eyed cousins.
The big girl cousins.
The baby girl cousins.
Mrs. Claus mentioning to Santa to make sure and add some birth control to the adult stockings.
We also visited the aquaponic center and went to downtown disney.
Then we slept on Sunday.

Off to church

Sunday is fun day

 What big sisters are good for.
I came in this morning and found Grace asleep in the crib with Eliza. 
She climbed in when Eliza started crying and put her back to sleep.
 This is "Wiza" as she likes to call herself.  She is quite the artist and has colored all over my walls and cubboards.  I think that I will wait to paint until her artist phase is over.
 "Wiza" loves her brother "Adma" as she calls him.
Going in for a kiss.
 Good thing she is so cute, I think we will keep her.
 I finally tried out the remote for the camera.  
All the kids had to try and push the button.
 Funny faces.
 Adam trying out the remote.
Nice shot Adam.

Family photos

 Some pictures from our recent family photo shoot on Howard Island.
 All together now.
 The family that builds a sand castle together stays together.
 
I love when these two actually get along.  Love this picture.
We did actually get a Christmas card picture, which makes this trip a success.


November

We are currently in our post-Halloween sugar-induced coma and will regain consciousness shortly.
