Thanksgiving

We had so much fun at Gale's house for Thanksgiving. She had a few big boxes that she let the kids play in and decorate as much as they wanted- and label "KIDS ONLY" LOL!!

Ben loved the hideout.

What is supposed to be the main spotlight of the day, always tends to be the shortest lived with our family. 5 hours of prep work, and 2 hours of clean up, for 10 minutes of eating- not quietly mind you. We could never seem to get all 7 of them to sit and eat, there was always one or two up running around. *or complaining about the food- UGH!

Benjamin found a pretty pink phone, and had a nice, long conversation with Grandma Gale.

It was so cute to watch! Then he had to "call" everyone who walked by him.

Funny Josh, Funny!

This is just another of the wonderful moments where I enjoy having older children :) Ben wasn't as interested in the game, but Josh, Jeremiah and Matthew all helped us play. They love Apples to Apples. It was a great Thanksgiving, with plenty of leftover Ham... YUM YUM!!

*yes, we had Turkey too, but Ham is my favorite!
