A happy turkey day

We are spending the Thanksgiving holiday with Trey's family and everything has been great. Yesterday we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with a large group of family; there were 25 of us (including kids) there for the meal, and a few more straggled in later. It's nice to spend holidays with so much family because isn't that what it's all about? Here are the boys that make me smile the most; the people in my life for whom I am most thankful:


As soon as we arrived, Thomas quickly made a new friend in his (third?) cousin, Michael, who is about two months older. Michael taught him how to throw rocks. :)


Here they were playing at the table after dinner with Milton, Aunt Beth and Keyes. It's great to be around so many babysitters!


Thomas enjoyed his first ride on a 4-wheeler (though his Daddy drove him a little too fast for my liking!):




He had a lot more fun than his face showed in this picture.


There were many dogs hanging around and Thomas loved playing with all of them.


He was pretty tired and considered taking a nap with this dog:



Parker, meanwhile, just hung out wherever he could, with whoever was willing to hold him (fortunately for us, there were many willing hands around). Here he was hanging out with Umpa:


One of the great things about the "farm" is the wonderful porch with many rocking chairs. A perfect spot after eating a bit much on Thanksgiving:


Thomas & Michael, however, found a more interesting place to hang out. First Thomas had to go check out Michael's hiding place:


And then he decided to join him:


At the end of the day, after much food and fabulous fellowship, I'm sure we were all feeling a bit like Parker...ready for a nap!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know we certainly have so many reasons to be thankful yesterday and every day of the year.
