Thanksgiving

We usually end up celebrating Thanksgiving on Saturday here as trying to squeeze in a nice, festive dinner after a long day of school and work, and before the kiddos need to get to bed on a school night just is too crazy/doesn't feel at all special.

So yesterday we celebrated by having three families over for a huge Thanksgiving lunch. Boy, the house was full... there were 11 kids in all! But it was a fun time of hanging out, and eating way too much good food!

I had all these great plans of getting some good pictures, but then all the kids were starving and I just plain forgot to get the camera out until later. But here are a few snapshots of our time:

(J loves to be a "mommy" to Chloe -- 8 months younger-- and make sure her pacifier is in, and tries to help her get around, etc. It's pretty funny to watch!)
