Thanksgiving 2012

This year Thanksgiving was awesome.  Two of my sisters came to town to celebrate and it was probably one of the best Thanksgivings ever.  We always keep it low key, baking, reading, going to Target, going to the park, and letting the kids play, decorating the tree but that's how we like it.  I don't know why but I don't have a ton of pictures but here are a few I managed to take.  And for some reason I didn't take any pictures of the food which may sound weird to some people but I just about ALWAYS take a picture, seriously you should see my phone it has pictures of my kids and food that's it.  I promise I have more pictures of my kids though.

I'm pretty pleased with myself that not only did I get a picture of Leah but she's also smiling.  I may not be her favorite aunt.  That goes to Poodle.

Most of the cute kids.

Poodle being the favorite aunt and helping out Graham.  And yes he's in his underwear.

The finished tree.

Annie and Devin.  These two got along so well. 

And the best friends in the whole world.  Mabel and Caroline.  Caroline cried and cried the night before she left.  (and actually two nights before she left)

A few things I want to remember about the trip are.

1.  Seeing the kids that are the same ages have fairly similar personalities.  Mabel and Caroline are very motherly, Devin and Annie are sweet and easy going, and Graham and Leah, well they're spunky.  I love it.

2. Going to Target with Poodle and Bethy, sounds totally lame but we have lots of fun together.

3. Seeing Bethy and Poodle crack up after they saw Graham scream at the top of his lungs at one of his siblings. 

4.Mabel making Devin the sweetest card for his birthday.

5.  Going to the outlet mall with Poodle.

6. Having the kids wake up almost every morning BEFORE 6 because they were so excited to play with each other.  

I love that my sisters were able to come and we are so grateful that they do. (every year right?)  We miss being close by and love spending the holiday with them.
