Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was SO much fun this year. Jackson had a blast with all his cousins and couldn't get enough. Seriously, its so much fun to have them all around! They all just play so happily together the whole time! I just can't describe the joy it brings to me to watch him play with Owen, Makena and Eloise!
Anyways, the food was amazing. Chef Neale totally outdid himself and graciously served it up to my family and Justin's family all under the same roof. My mom also outdid herself with the setting the table. I swear, she takes each task to the extreme and I love that about her. She put so much thought into everything. She also had a little craft for the kids. She got a burlap looking tablecloth and we did each grandchild's hand print. Each year we will do another hand print on the same tablecloth and it will serve as the tablecloth for the children's table. It was so fun! Notice how Jackson has a left handed print. He is SO left handed :

 Gorgeous place setting for the adults

Oh, can't forget the precious place mats that Amy made for the kids....On one side it celebrates Thanksgiving and you flip it over and its Christmas! These will be used for years on each holiday!!

Oh, and I can't leave out the "bike" rides! My parents got a cart for the grandchildren (not sure what they are called) and it attaches to the back of a bike. Jackson went on 3 rides! Last week when we tried it he wasn't a fan but wow, he LOVES it now and kept going back for more!
