Thanksgivings....so far

It sure gets busy this time of year!! We are really lucky to have families who celebrate Thanksgiving at very different times in November. First we have the Olsen party, full of cotton candy, dinner (not like a traditional thanksgiving dinner at all), blow up jumper, desserets, and plenty of fun family! This is one of 2 of our yearly get togethers. It's great to visit and catch up with all the cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma, grandpa, nieces, nephews and everyone else! We all had a blast!!

Porter was having so much fun when he was supposed to be eating that he was trying to eat what was left before they put it away.

Mason found some fun people there! Here is giggling with great-aunt Ilene and Great-uncle-Danny!

Next on our list is the Calhoun Thanksgiving. This is usually held at Aunt Lisa's house, but we got to go to Mom's house this year. WE always LOVE being there so it was great! After church we got our naps in and headed over. We were in charge of the relish tray (Brent and I didn't even know that's what the veggie trays were called till we were assigned it :) ). We had our delicious Thanksgiving feast with mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey the whole thing. It was delicious! Then we got to play and visit, which I must say is my favorite part. I just LOVE these people! Then the kids got to do their craft. This year they either made pilgrim or Indian hats. As you can see Porter made a pilgrim hat. It was really cute. Mom also gave us our Christmas presents early so we could display them for the Holidays. It was more pieces to our BEAUTIFUL Nativity set she gave us last year. I couldn't have picked a better nativity set out. I love it!

Cousins playing together!

Layna and Porter racing around the kitchen. A nice pink horse for Layna and a green manly tractor for Porter. They were having a blast riding all over. They get along so well. It seems Porter can sence that she is a girl and treats her differently than he treats his boy cousins, with more respect and care. It's really sweet to see that he is already becoming a gentleman. Oh and this girl is ALWAYS smiling. She is just so cute!

And their OFF......

Well it was a clost one, but by the look on thier faces I think a tie is a wise call... :)
