Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's aka Mamaw and Papaw, or Nanny and Papaw.

Mom and Dad had Thanksgiving at their house this year. Every other year we go to Kevin's Aunt Mary's house for the big McDonel Thanksgiving. It was so nice to see Mom in the kitchen again.
April, Pedro and the kids couldn't be here this year, but they will be home for Christmas so that sort of makes up for it. Sherry and the kids were all there and she brought along her new boyfriend Jimmy for the family to meet. This year she also has Cody in her family. He is a boy who is a friend of Dominick. He has a story, but I won't write it here. He needed a place to live so Sherry took him in and they are all glad to have Cody there. Very nice kid, that Cody.
So there are like a million photos from the day so I will get on with it.
Ben sort of looks like he's elevating in this one.

Ben again

Mom's gonna hate this picture but it's one of only a few I got. She always makes the "deer in the headlight look" ha ha. Love ya Momma.

Kevin (notice mom's list beside him? Mom likes lists. She always has.)



Dominick and Isis carrying on and there's Cody.

Little Ben wanted to take a picture with my camera.

so instead of giving him my big camera, I gave him my point and shoot.

The main attraction (although I dont really like turkey, this one was beautiful)

Dad slicing the Turkey

and everyone eating it. Look at Kevin showing what's in his mouth. Do you see how many kids are in that room? Are any of them misbehaving? No, just my husband. He had to know that this photo was going into my end of the year book, ha ha. When will he ever learn?

and here's one from the other side of the room that Tyler took for me so I could be in one of the pictures too.

The typical after Thanksgiving activity going on here.



Dad playing on the computer. Gotta love the 'stache. Mom hates it by the way. Me and my other sisters think it's pretty cool.



Ben, I have news for ya - she's your cousin. Look at that face.

Ok, back to business.

Clean up, Clean up....

Never see Tyler without his Mountain Dew.

Peace Brothaa

hours later.....Dessert.

I think he misses his girlfriend by this point

And here is where Ben started taking pictures
his momma. (We are all really bad about getting our pictures taken. We all stick our tongues out. Mom never taught us better, ha ha. Just kidding Mom - no I'm not. You do the same thing alot of times, lol.



Ben's self portrait. He was doing this all evening. Look at that cute mouth of his. I love the stage between baby teeth and adult teeth. He is so darn cute and little too. You can still pick him up and tickle him, which by the way I did alot of that day. He would tell me to stop tickling him so I told him that what he really meant was "he liked being tickled." Of course he disagreed with this so I stopped tickling him......."Aunt Bobbie?"...... "What Ben?"....."Tickle Me!" Gosh I love that little fart!

He is 8 years old. He looks like he's five or six. That's what makes him so much fun.

see? even Dad does it!!!

I hate this picture of me, but for my kids' sake, I won't delete it.
