Our First Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough to have two Thanksgivings this year because Ryan's parents and brother came down to visit us on Thanksgiving. We had a great time! So, the week before Thanksgiving we had a Thanksgiving with my side of the family. It was a beautiful fall day so we spent some time outside in the leaves and took LOTS of pictures.

First we headed to feed the ducks.


Jackson found this decorative ball outside at my moms and just ran around carrying it.
We actually get some fall color here in TX. Surprising I know!
Adorable E posing outside.
Cutie pie Ben.
I tried to get a few pictures of my boys posing but that didn't work out so well. Here is one of the four kids. Jackson was NOT wanting to pose.
Jumping in the leaves!





Awww, sweet brothers.
Cooper wasn't really loving it at this point.Afterward we had a very yummy dinner. The kids always start the meal with a toast. (jackson was asleep at this point so I could actually sit and eat with everyone else!)
After dinner there were a few presents! Spoiled spoiled kids!

A fun end to a fun day.

Wow! Lucky to have such gorgeous weather for Thanksgiving! Our leaves were long gone by then and the cold weather had set in. :) Fantastic pictures of all the kids in the leaves. Cooper looks like he is getting so tall. Will he go to pre-school next year?
