We were lucky to have our good friends, the Johnson's, come to stay with us for Thanksgiving! The kids were SO excited and I was reminded why we usually don't tell them when people are coming.... they were all anxiously watching out the front window and constantly asking when they going to get there for over an hour!
The kids all had a great time sleeping together in the family room. We kept Wesley upstairs, but even baby Bennett slept in the family room in his playpen so he could sleep by his brothers. Cute!
Timmy telling some great stories to the kids.
Miles and Grant sleeping by each other. Awwww. Grant was so sweet, the first night they got here I heard Grant say, "I love you Miles!" Sweet boy.
Wesley was pretty nice to Bennett. I think this was the turning point when they bonded over cheese puffs and redvines....
Angela and Bennett loved Scooter and Scooter loved having their attention.
Lots of lego playing!
We took advantage of having "Timmy- the- tool-man- Johnson" here and he and Brian filled in the annoying extra door to our bathroom! He claimed that he loved doing it and I'm so thankful because it looks SO much better and I don't know when we would have gotten around to doing it. And if we had done it by ourselves there's no way it would look as good as it does now. Thanks Timmy! Please come back again when we are ready to re-do the dining room floor. :)
On Thanksgiving Day we had some more friends over: the Ross family and the Condie family. There were 13 kids and I was extremely happy that it was warm enough for them all to eat on the deck out back! We had lots and lots of yummy food and a great time. I didn't get enough pictures though!
The girl and boy tables!
Apparently it was even warm enough that Wesley didn't even need pants on! Actually he woke up from his nap right in the middle of dinner starting and I didn't take the one minute it would have taken to put his pants on. When he went outside to play later my friend Tessa was teasing me because I put his jacket on but still no pants. It was pretty warm out there :)
Wesley was tormenting poor Hallie (the cute blonde baby girl). I caught him yanking on both of her little pigtails.... so sad! I put him in his crib for a while and when I went up to get him he had climbed out and was happily playing with his train table.
A shot of the grown-up table...
Timmy and Sophie made an apple pie again this year. Yummy!
Angela and I went to Wal-Mart that night at 8 and had a great time. We got almost everything we wanted and were home by 9:15. That beats getting up at 5am! Although I do feel bad for the workers who had to be there on Thanksgiving... and I went to Wal-Mart today and saw one of the things there for the same price it was on Black Friday. Lame! Oh, well. We had a great time. We loved having the Johnson's come and stay with us. They are so much fun. What a great Thanksgiving!
