Thanksgiving

Hundreds of pictures to chose from...I think that these are a good representation of the weekend.

The cousins played together very well. I'm not sure what they were doing, but they all decided to play on the stairs (except the youngest, who was probably down for a nap).

Each one had to take their turn with Grandma, but there were so many of them that sometimes they had to take turns. B always loves to be with Grandma, so sometimes she would have to squeeze in when it was someone else's turn. Grandma doesn't mind.

Grandpa bought one small Thomas the Train track set a few years ago. It has grown exponentially since then and the kids always have to be playing with it. Sometimes the adults even get in on the fun.

The train tracks were in the living room and the hallway. If we could clear out the furniture in a couple of rooms I'm sure that the track would take up all of the space.

One of the boxes was empty of all the train stuff, so B went for a ride by sliding back and forth in the box.

I don't know how some of these activities get started, but one of the cousins is on the bed being tickled by the other cousins.

B and her youngest cousin. I don't think B wanted Daddy or I to hold anyone else without her being held too.

We took a small tree to Great Grandma's apartment and all of the grandkids helped decorate it. This picture has all of the grandkids in, which doesn't happen very often, especially without a bit of effort.

Grandpa not only has the train track, but he also has a Wii. I think someone is playing it during all waking hours, except at meals. There is never a lack of something to do. Grandpa even bought a basketball hoop this weekend so the guys and the grandkids had to get out and shoot hoops for a while (in the freezing cold).

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing our families again over Christmas.
