Turkey and Stuffing and Pie.....

This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with BJ's family! It was such a fun day! BJ and the boys went and did some jeeping and four wheeling in the morning! While Kristie and I got things ready around the house! In the afternoon I went over to Mindy's and helped her set up her Christmas tree! Its kinda become a tradition for me to help her with her tree! She has a TON of things and so its kinda like setting up a show tree! Its SO SO fun! 

When dinner was ready we set out the special place mats that Spencer made and all the kids sat around the table patiently waiting! They were so excited to have a table all to themselves! Kristie and I had laid out a bunch of plastic under the kids table so we wouldn't have to worry about clean up! The kids thought it was really cool to have a new floor, just for THEM! 

Cooper, Ryker, Spencer, Kally, Brylee and Shay
We each brought different dishes so that dinner wasn't too much for anybody! It worked out so well! All the food was gut bustingly yummy! The boys loved the stuffing, turkey and jello! Cooper was obsessed with the green beans! He is kind of addicted to them:) 

All of BJ's brothers and sisters and their families were able to come! Including BJ's uncle Jess and Aunt Liz! There was a big turn out! 
Lance and Cadie, Liz and Mindy, Kristie and Brent, and Bristi and her boyfriend Matt!

Jess, Alex, Ammon, Brandon, Brent and BJ!
All the guys congregated down stairs to watch TV! Or maybe they just wanted to be able to eat as much as they could without being noticed :) 

I managed to get one picture of a few of us too!

All the cousins have so much fun together! Brylee is the oldest and she is 6 then the youngest (for another month anyway) is Cooper and and he is 20 months! Because they are all so close in age they have a lot of fun goofing off and chasing after one another! 

This picture is of all of them tickling each other while cuddling on Nana and Papas bed! (Their bed is one of the favorite hang outs at Nana and Papas!)

After everyone left we hung out for a little while longer and the kids started jumping around on the couches downstairs! The boys seem to be able to make anything into a Jungle Gym!

So fun! I love having tons of family together for holidays. That's so fun that your boys have so many cousins that live so close and are so close in age. What fun friendships to have!
