Thanksgiving fun with Family

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving week. This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. Josh's parents came, a brother with his wife and three kids, another brother, and his youngest sister. We had a good time with everyone here. We played lots of games and ate lots of food. The house was busy, but the kids all had a really good time. We had tons of food. We went to the Bass Pro Shop on Saturday because they had Santa there and they had free pictures with Santa Clause. After we went to Ghirardelli for ice cream. It was so fun and the kids loved it.

Payton playing at the ice cream shop...kids find the weirdest things to entertain themselves.

At the Bass Pro Shop they had games and coloring for the kids

They loved taking baths in the big bath tub

Payton thought he was so big sitting at the kids table. He only fell off once then learned how to get up and down on his own after that.

Payton's Thanksgiving feast. He ended up with potatoes in his hair and all over his face

All the kids loved pushing each other across the house 

Lunch time. We have to make sure that their clothes stay clean

My handsome little man is growing so fast. Isn't he just the cutest ever?

Cute pics, the next time I see Payton I'm taking him out to eat so that I don't feel like I'm making a mess dumping food all over myself. Hope you guys are coming down sometime for Christmas.
