Yesterday the boys and I spent the day at Nina and Poppy's house for the Crooks' family Thanksgiving. Darren was working, so he wasn't able to join us, but as is the case every year thus far, all the siblings, spouses and kids were all able to be there. The cousins, Connor(9), Coby(6), John Michael(5), Cale(3), Lincoln(2 1/2), Juliet and Audrey(2 year old twins), Madison(2 in Dec.), and Lauren(1 1/2) all had SO much fun together this year. It was a zoo, but I've never seen all the kids play and have as much fun together as they did this Thanksgiving. I honestly thought the boys and I would just stay for a few hours (lunch was at 1), but we didn't get home until just before 10 pm. I always find that once I get there, I just don't want to leave...and the boys, well they're the same way. What a fun day. Can't wait to do it all over again on Christmas day.
first there was food...lots of food
Coby, of course was still at the table eating THIRDS when everyone else was done.
then the REAL fun began with a day of outdoor play (Connor and Poppy opted for golf)
Coby and John Michael had bicycle races (they got hot so they decided to go shirtless)
Poppy took Lauren and Cale on a wagon ride to the pond (the big kids followed on their bikes)
Coby rode the sit and scoot (the adults love this one as well)
The best part (aside from the fact that the whole family was together) was that the kids were worn out by the end of the day. They sat down and watched all of Madagascar 2 while the adults conversed. What a perfect day!
Oh, be sure and check out our photo site, I am finally up to date on it! I am going to try to keep up with it from here on out. We'll see how that goes! ;)

Oh, I love it! I wish we had family close when I see all this. Glad you all had nice weather to let all those kiddos get outside!
What fun! And what handsome fellows you have there.
