This Thanksgiving, Hazel and Henley were delighted to be joined at Nana & Papa's by their GREAT Grandparents, Jill, Patrick, Bonnie (& BABY), Jeff, Cathy and Mick. A time to spend with family, and lots of food. We are blessed.

Aunt Jill is such a FAVORITE of Hazel's. She adores Jill, and not just because she brings her fantastic
girly gifts. Here she is modeling her Hello Kitty nails. Oh my!

Great Grandpa admires the fancy nails.

Uncle Patrick taking time to read to his niece. She adores her Patrick!

Beau is KING of the relish tray! Yet again he outdid himself...

My pants feel snug just at the sight!

My niece or nephew is due SOON! We had a surprise family shower to honor the adorable couple who will make FANTASTIC parents.

Boy or girl? They are prepared.

Cathy is another special Aunt. She is wonderfully intentional with the kids. They all adore her. Mick was a little under-the-weather, but sweet as could be!

Nana and Henley watch Papa and all his silliness...

Papa had been demonstrating his duck calls. I guess you can only practice duck calls while wearing
camo.

Papa's
Tur-Goose-Hen.
(Chicken, inside a goose, inside a turkey.)

Richie takes a modest SMALL bite.

Hazel loved all the yummy foods. Her favorite? The Jello
Surprise, Nana's traditional Jello creation. (Never the same as the year before.)

Family time.

Hazel and Nana "cheers" with her first taste of egg
nog. She LOVED it.

Bonnie can't shovel in the Jello surprise fast enough! :)

Who has room for dessert?
Six choices this year!
I MAY have tried them all at some point or another, and I proud of it!

Post meal relaxation. LOVE Bonnie's baby belly. Can't wait for little one's arrival.

All the kiddos. Henley a little skeptical, as usual. Such cuties!

Henley entranced (or disturbed?) by silly Uncle Jeff's funny faces and sounds.

Hazel got the nails on the second time, all by herself. Oh my.

Who needs toys...

....when there is a fridge to climb inside. Henley was a big help in organizing the leftovers.

The DUCKS played the Friday after Thanksgiving. Our little DUCK, Henley, was worn out after an evening of quacking, waddling, and CHEERING. We LOVE our DUCKS!

Kirby needed a rest too.

Hard work being the
DUCK's #1 fan in training.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we were joined by the
Petrjanos and White families. Madeline sure is getting big!

Ryan is Madeline's doting big brother. They sure do look related!!

Hazel and Nathan being silly on the couch. Love the piggies!

Hazel & Henley thought Madeline was wonderful.

The three guys, together again. Thanks for joining us SCOTT!

Before we headed for home, Nana and Papa got in some more cuddle time.

What a silly crew. Thankful for all the silliness and thankful for a memorable Thanksgiving.
