Thanksgiving visit with my Sis
We hosted my youngest sister, Sarah and her family for Thanksgiving this year. I probably should have taken more pictures, but with 8 kids 8 and under it was a busy time. 
Sarah has three little boys. Josh (6) had fun playing with trains and Legos with Isaac. Levi (3 or 4, I forget. He’s older than Ila and younger than Nicole) made friends with our computer. And Gabe, who is just a few weeks younger than Thomas.
Our babies are basically the same age, so I couldn’t resist taking pictures of the two of them together.
They both think the dishwasher is a big fun toy:
Here’s the only pic I took of my brother-in-law, Nate. I guess the lid got sealed really tight as the turkey was soaking in brine overnight.
Here’s our turkey with improvised cover:
Levi was stalking the cat, but when I got my camera out to take a pic, Nicole climbed up and posed—She’s a bit of a scene stealer:
I told Charlotte that we could watch Brave and eat cinnamon gummy bears with her cousins. She thought that idea was great.
Our Black Friday shopping consisted of going to one store that was a few miles from my home and not crowded. We let the kids play while we browsed the store. Here we are checking 5 of the 8 children in to the play area:
My new camera arrived just before they had to leave so we hastily took a few pics of our group, but I didn’t know how to use my camera yet, so most of the pictures turned out with some blurry spots:
