Thanksgiving

We hosted our first Thanksgiving this year.  Although I'm not really sure you can count it as hosting when you don't cook the turkey.  Oh well.  Everything went smoothly and (I think) everyone had a good time.  My boys enjoyed entertaining the girls (all girl cousins on my side), and the girls didn't seem to mind playing with boy toys.  Owen was happy to have video game football competition from my cousin Wyatt, while Miles and Graham played a lot of hide-n-go-seek with McKinley and Maggie.

Cousins (from left to right):  Maggie, Graham, McKinley, Meredith, Owen, Colleen, Miles.  Notice how cute the girls are dressed...and then there's the boys--let's just say we are lucky Graham has any pants on.

The newest additions to the family--Colleen and Meredith.  The big boys like them well enough, but Graham is fascinated with them.  He knows their names, carries diapers to the trash, etc.  The last time we were in Lebo he asked Susan if we could take one of them home.  Now he says, "We can't have one, because they have to stay together or they will be sad."  Here they are wearing the little outfits we bought them for Thanksgiving.  So fun to look at and buy little girl clothes--especially when the only clothing worn by my kids these days seems to be varying shades of neon.
