We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving Day-- especially me, since Matthew was on Turkey duty (deep fryer). We took advantage of the good weather by playing outside. The kids played with Grandma, rode every kiddo toy we have with wheels, and Hannah even had Daddy take off her training wheels. She had a couple of successful runs and then asked him to put them back on. Fine by me!!! Yikes! The men enjoyed playing some driveway basket ball, and I hung my outdoor Christmas decorations up while Grandma entertained the little people. Dinner was yummy, as we reflected on how much we have to be thankful for. God is good!
On Friday, we took it slow and celebrated Christmas in the evening. We enjoy seeing the kids open their presents, so we decided to go ahead and exchange gifts. Jonathan read the Christmas story, and we reminded the children that our gift giving is in celebration of Jesus' birth. Everyone was very excited over their new gifts and Hannah and Madeline didn't waste any time donning their new princess (Hannah) and Dora (Madeline) P.J.'s and slippers.

Looks like you all had a great time together! I love seeing the pics of all the kids playing together. I know how much my children enjoy their cousins and how special that time is.
Really enjoyed the photos:) Hey, Grandma can hang in there with the best of them! The princess and Dora slippers are right on target. And Philip is definitely out numbered but looks like he has a great time, pink girl stuff and all. Love~Mom
