Thanksgiving

Warning: LOTS OF PICTURES!!! :) So this Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL!!! My sister Leslie, her husband Gabe and their adorable little baby Kobe came to visit this year. We had A LOT of fun. I miss living close to family. We were able to chat, play games, eat, go bowling, chat and eat some more. Leslie was able to meet Carter for the first time as well. We had our yummy Thanksgiving meal with Jonathan's brother Jared and his beautiful wife Brigitte and her sister Megan (it was the holiday with sisters:). I made my first turkey, which turned out very good--super yummy!!! We had more rolls than we could eat, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing (I made this from scratch and it turned out really yummy). We also had a pumpkin roll and Brigitte made her famous banana cream pie. It was all sooooo yummy!!! We just love spending time with family. So these pictures are all out of order, but that's all right:)


I took the kids to the park and Carter was ready to get down and join in the fun--too bad all he wanted to do was eat the leaves:)

This boy LOVES to swing!!!!


Richmond has a Christmas parade, the sun was pretty bright so this isn't the best picture, but the kids LOVED it!!!

Carter and Kobe, they are about 7 months apart. This was the best picture that I could get of the two of them. They look more like brothers than Carter and Gavin:)
