WARNING! A gazillion photos to follow!
Mostly of cute kids though, so pick your poison I suppose :)
Both of my brothers and their families were in town for Thanksgiving. Currently that comes to 16.5 people! We packed the days and had fun! fun! fun!
Wednesday we all started our day in a delicious way - breakfast at grandma's!
Followed by some target practice and coloring
And a good amount of vegging
Later in the afternoon Ellen came to visit her cousin cat. She was feeding her from her hand! Too cute!
Then it was a trip to the Gardens. That place is just amazing, so much to see and do time and time again.
The evening brought more coloring and shenanigans...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Cousin time and then football and coloring with Uncle Peter. She drew a 'Prce Trcey' (Perky Turkey)
This year's spread! Yum! Another fine display of mom's beautiful pie making too.
Photobombed!
A few evening snuggles with Grammy and Granpy before bed :)
Friday we kept the party rolling starting with breakfast at the Grand Coney, also yum!
Thumbs up!
The whole gang! Soon to be outdated. That's been happening a lot in the last decade :)
Speaking of rolling, next it was off to bowling! SO fun! We got to bowl on the second floor!
Everyone got in on the action!
Grandpa, NOW what's my score?! (every time)
Just when you thought we were done, you were wrong! Next stop was the museum!
Including the planetarium for a holiday musical show!
Ellen was using a 'Magnum-Flying-Glass' to look at coins :)
Horse rides!
Grace biked the streets of old Grand Rapids and Sam had a possum crawl up his arm!
Uncle Peter got booked!
For our last dinner together we had a pizza birthday party!
Four birthdays in less than a month calls for cake! or two!
Only girls get presents though, unless you count a text, then I nailed it for my brothers too :)
Marta kinda decided walking was for her, especially if she could check out Virginia in doing so
And to wrap things up, Mos and Clara were caught sharing, even with Uncle Peter :)
And then we all took a huge nap and another week off just to recover ;)
