Thanksgiving Fun!

Well we made it through the holiday and still no baby....... which we were glad because we had soooo much fun in Glide with the whole Graham fam., but we are definitely ready now for this little boy to come! I have a dr. appointment tomorrow, so we will see what he is up to then.  

Thanksgiving was a blast! It was soooo much fun to see Nick and Christi and their cute cute girls, Reagan and Alice.  Thanksgiving day was full of lots and lots of good food of course and being together with everyone.  Friday the girls went to go see Twilight! (Edward was surprisingly really good!)  Saturday we all went and picked out and cut down a Christmas tree and brought it home to decorate, and then watched Oregon kick some Oregon State butt in the civil war game!! It was such a good game!  And Sunday we all departed and went our separate ways to go home :(.  I thought I would keep this brief because there are lots of pictures to share, and if I talk about everything fun we did, it would turn into a mini novel!  Some other fun highlights though were hot tubbing, Guitar Hero, opening some Christmas presents, staying up late talking and having fun with everyone, decorating Christmas cookies, watching Elf and listening to Christmas music!  I am so mad because we didn't get a single family picture of John, Jack and I, not even on Thanksgiving- the one day the boys got dressed up and looking nice! But here are some action shots from our time in Glide:

Playing some guitar Hero

Jackson helping himself to the desserts on Thanksgiving
Reagan & Jackson both just love their Aunt Heather

picking out a Christmas tree!

they are such good helpers!


Christi and Alice- the happiest and smiliest baby I have ever known! She is sooo darn cute and I had so much fun playing with her and cuddling up with her

just waiting for the boys to cut down the tree

they had an old fire engine out at the tree farm

Jackson trying to sneak into the truck
Aunt Heather set up the Christmas train for the kids and they loved it!

Here's a video of them being goofy

waiting to open Christmas presents

making cookies with Aunt Heather

of course Jackson just ate the frosting the whole time

and eventually he gave up putting the frosting on the cookie and just ate it straight off the spoon- i have no idea where his love for sugar comes from :)

the result- frosting all over the place!
  

So that's all the pictures we got! It was so much fun to have everyone there, and it was especially fun to have all the kids together, which between Nick and Christi's 2 girls, Jeff and Shalene's little baby girl, and us having Jackson plus Baron still in the oven, we had 4 1/2 kids under the age of 3! It was crazy, but lots of fun!  Can't wait for the next time we are all together!

I just love having tons of family together like that! Your pictures are awesome, and I'm glad you got to enjoy the weekend, and now you can be ready for your new little guy to come!

I'm jealous of your tree-getting adventure. We got ours at home depot.
