Some Thanksgiving Snapshots

We were with TJ’s side of the family for Thanksgiving this year.  Always a fun time with this precious family!  I didn’t get to focus too much on taking pictures this day.  So, these are just some random snap shots of family members while stuffing their face.  Apologies to all whose stuffing faces I am about to post.  Hee hee!

The boy room – with tv of course.

Some more lovely family eating.  :-)

Adley heading down stairs

I can’t call this one a kids table because there are TEENAGERS there!  When did that happen?  :-)

Malaine and friend, Alex.  The only picture I got of her and her eyes are closed.  :-)

Mavery and Adley.  I realized that the population of this room for part of the day was around 60% Chinese.  :-)

Jaylyn and Dalayna

Leighton – Just noticed that the only color food on her tray is yellow or orange.  :-)  I promise I gave her some green items too.  Hee hee!

Leighton and friend, Luke.  Who is in control of this vehicle?  :-)

Some of more of the gals.   Sorry – more closed eyes and stuffing face.

And then we all decided to cram in for a picture!   

It was a great tukey day!

Ballet and the “Ingrums”

Adley took ballet at the homeschool group classes this year.  She had a lot of fun!  Here are some shots from their last day.

Joining hands

onesy-twosy!

Ballerina Adley

Their teacher had them go into the center of the circle and do their favorite ballet move.  Adley did quite a twirl!

Adley and one of her friends!

Also, here is Adley in her Indian vest and head gear from preschool.  I thought it was so funny that she told me they had been studying about the indians and the “ingrums”.  (The Ingrums are actually a family that are friends of ours serving as missionaries in Peru.  Hee hee!)

Here are some shots from our Thanksgiving. We were at my parent's house for Thanksgiving this year.

Playing with Angela and Amber while the cooks are busy in the background.

Cousin Hailee and Jaylyn played non-stop. The exercise room has lots of entertainment.

The cousins - We finally have a fun group of little ones to add to our holiday fun.

Adley enjoyed mothering Mylee and chasing Elijah

There was much to be thankful for!

Season of Thanksgiviing

We have finally started up our Thankfulness Tree. We did it with Jaylyn two years ago, I believe. Just stick a "tree" in a "pot". Attach "leaves" each day with things you are thankful for. I saved the leaves Jaylyn did last time to see how they compare. Maybe I will post some once we get it going. So far, Adley's first thing to be thankful for was "food". :-) Then she mentioned chicken and dumplings. Jaylyn said "God" and "horses".

What are you thankful for?

Uncle Jungle Gyms?

Sunlight through the window?

Baby smiles?

Sweet sister time?

Silly sister time?
