We had quite a bit of family come into town for Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving dinner included Braden's parents, his Granny, his siblings Garrick, Tarrah & Shawn, Braden's Uncle Thad, Aunt Louise, Aunt Gail, Uncle Jim, our 2 nieces Greer and McLaren, our nephew Jezreel, and of course the 4 of us, and also our deaf neighbor Mary who had no one to spend Thanksgiving with (and it was her birthday nonetheless!) ...oh, and 3 dogs!
Thanksgiving Day was also Susie's birthday. It was 2 days before our 5th wedding anniversary, and it was just a few days after Greer's birthday. So lots of extra celebrating!
But that's not all.
For Thanksgiving Day dessert, my parents came over and joined us all, along with my uncle & aunt, Pat & Marissa, my cousins Catherine and Cauthen, and Marissa's parents Wilburn & Barbara.
But that's not all!
The day after Thanksgiving, Braden's Aunt Karen came for the day, along with her mother Ruby, her daughter Leah & husband Jon, and kids Eden, Caden & Vivian.
I think this was probably one of the largest and most extended family gatherings I've ever been apart of. And so after all that explaining, here are some pictures from our time with family.

Well, this kept Caleb busy for a good 15 minutes so Braden & I could both sit down and eat (most of) our Thanksgiving dinner.
Mmmmm...my first taste of pumpkin pie. Finger-licking good!

Greer and McLaren, how many times did you read 'Beauty & the Beast' to Maddie?
Caleb enjoyed all the extra attention!

Not bad for 16 adults, 6 kids, 2 babies and 2 dogs!

Wow! You guys were busy. I can't believe how old Caleb looks now. I can't wait to see you and the kiddos!
