Thanksgiving 2011

 This year for Thanksgiving at my parents house we had 26 people.  I don't have to blog about how I over-ordered turkey for this meal as I don't believe there is any way I will be able to forget.  Sadly this is not the first party I have over estimated the amount of food needed.  The last time was the referral party last October. 

  It was pleasantly surprising and definitely sweet how easily Audrey bonded with some of her cousins.    In these pictures she is looking at family vacation albums with her cousins Nolan (above) and Mason (below).



  My dad said he was also surprised at how at ease Audrey handled this family event. 


  Playing with her cousin Ben.

Sharing "manket smelling" with Uncle Tom.  Select few people get this honor. 




  As Tom, Colton, Nolan and Mason were leaving Audrey asked Mason to pick her up  (she holds her arms up, shakes outstretched hands and says "carry") at the front door as they were leaving.  This surprised me and I believe Mason as well but he cooperated.  Since I had my camera I of course took some pictures.

  This was their expression when I told them to all do "scary face" ... one of Audrey's "ham-bone" tricks. 

  The lighting was not good for this picture but Miss A very sweetly asked to sit with Granddad and then for him to zip her coat before we left today.
