Thanksgiving Part Two

We had Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family on Thanksgiving day. They all drove down from Minnesota at the beginning of the week. We didn't get in town until late Wed night but we went over on Thursday and spent the day with everyone.

Here's the only group shot we have, I set up my camera on a table if you can't tell by the angle!

We tried to do some pictures of our family- Cooper was being very funny and didn't really want to smile. He was staring at his cousins the whole time. He was so excited to see them after being away from them for almost a week!

(These pics are all out of order) This is at the end of the night. All of the kids were either asleep or watching a movie on my mom's bed, and we played a fun dice game and did a present exchange. It was a lot of fun!

My Uncle Jim and Aunt Amy with some of the kids (Elizabeth, their son Evan, Jackson, and Ben) Their daughter Emma was asleep at this point and Cooper did not want to be in the picture. (it was late and he hadn't napped!)

We had "Christmas" with this side of our family on Thanksgiving, so the kids got to open some presents. They were SO excited. Cooper loved this gift, it's a "grabber" I guess. He has lots of fun with it still.

Cooper with Emma. This is the only picture I have with her! We were going to try to do a group shot of the kids but never were able to get all of them together. She was being so cute and hugging him. He hugged for a minute and then was being ornery.

For dinner the kids got these adorable turkey cupcakes from my Aunt Amy. They LOVED them.

My mom gave the kids these real glass goblets for their drinks. Here they are toasting. I was very worried Cooper would break it but he did a great job! They thought it was so special to use these glasses.

The kids outside playing. It was a beautiful day!

I just thought this was a funny picture. It's Cooper on our drive home from KS. The sun was in his eyes so he wanted to wear my sunglasses while he watched his show.
