Thanksgiving was short and sweet this year. All my siblings went to their in-laws for the Meal. Rich and I stay home and my parents come to us. They came with Christmas presents and Santa hats. My kids are a bunch of camera hogs so anyway they could con mom into taking a picture of them, they would. This would explain Olivia's beautiful face.
I am not sure if it is all kids or just mine, but the second they see the Grandparents it is like they have had an I.V connection to sugar. (or marshmellows: see picture below) Jackson led the charge while the girls fell in line.
While making dinner Killian was getting fussy. It was time for her nap but I didn't have time to put her down. My absolute last go-to is Lucky Charms Marshmellows. Only the mashmellows. So I did what I had to do. Mock if you will, you know you have done something equally lame. (sorry the picture is tilted, I can't figure out how to go back and turn it. Shocking I know) Anyways Mom took the picture when she saw a cute little blue nose.
Pop and I did the cooking while mom enjoyed playing with the rugrats. We had so much fun, so we cheesed it up for the camera.
Jackson couldnt stay out of the presents Mom and Dad brought. He would line them up, then stack them again. Then we would seperate them into piles of who's name was on them, then stack them up again. Repeat. And again. Once it got old he gave it a rest. After dinner he was back at it.
It was a great day! Good food, good company! I am so greatful for this holiday season and the family togetherness it brings. I am so greatful for our Savior and the Atonment and all the blessings that we have as a result of it. I hope everyone, family and friends, and an equally awesome Thanksgiving. We love you all!

That picture of Killy is the cutest thing!!! It sounds like you guys had a blast.
There is no way those presents would last 5 min in my house! We have to hide them until Christmas Day or they would all be opened.
Super duper cute! I'm glad you guys had a good day. Thanks for feeding us on our way home. PS you are going to be sorry you asked for Disney pictures!
I know Cyrena gets way hyper when grandparents are around. Fun pictures!
Holy Cow! I've been so behind on reading your blog, that I had to do all my catching up just now. It looks like you and your family have a lot of fun together. I'm glad you fixed the scary Uncle problem. We still have issues with Brianna thinking everyone but mommy is threatening.
Congrats on the new vehicle. That's got to make traveling with kids easier.
Take care of yourself!
Happy Thanksgiving to you! Sometimes it's nice to have a smaller crowd. Looks like you guys are doing awesome. Bet your mom didn't plan to keep the kids so busy. Nice!
Well, look at that hoard! I'd covet those as well. Are they still wrapped? Your papa looks the same as ever. Sounds like you guys had a good Thanksgiving. We spent it at one of Derrick's Aunt's houses as we had just gotten home from mine a week earlier and his parents took off to shoot pheasants in North Dakota.
