Being Thankful - Day 30

Today, I am thankful for time with family!

Since we spent time with family over the holidays, I figured it was only appropriate to post pics of our time together!  Traveling and staying over can be stressful on a young family, especially with a mom who is a planner like me!  :)  But then these moments for the kids make it all worth it!

Boys about to fry a turkey!  What is this contraption Robert?
It's a dear feeder turned frying station!

You can't cook a turkey without your trusty broom!

Now we're cooking with peanut oil!

"Get in the there turkey!" -Bonham

Okay, let's do this!

These boys are proud of their turkey!

I seriously thought they were going to drop it back into the fry!
But fortunately, they didn't and the turkey was delicious!

My sister-in-laws, Rachel and Erin cooking up some sides

Older grandkids waiting patiently for lunch

Jayna and cousin, Claire... waiting to eat... waiting, waiting...

"Feed us NOW!" said the babies, Claire and George on their first Thanksgivings!

We have a kids table now... make room for Claire, George and Elissa (due in February) next year!

An, my brother-in-law, Chris's mom came by to love on the babies

Jayna and Barrett in front of Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas tree - the lighting wasn't that great and George was sleeping.  I'm sure we will get some better ones at Christmas.

The kids love to spend time with our families, whether it's their cousins, grandparents, or aunts and uncles and I love snapping pictures of the events!

This is the last day of 30 Days of Thankfulness.  I hope that you have enjoyed reading the posts and seeing pictures.  I can't promise that December will be full of posts, because I might need a little break.  :)
