We had a very special Thanksgiving this year. My Uncle Mark, Aunt Trista, and their two kids brought my Grandpa Gilbert out from Iowa and we all met at Hilary's for the holiday. I hadn't seen them since Lena was about 4 months old, and they had never met Eva or Noah, so it was a long overdue get-together. This post is a group effort; it contains pics taken on my camera, my mom's camera, and my dad's camera, oh and Hilary's phone too!
Hilary cooked her first-ever turkey. It was gorgeous and delicious! Pretty impressive considering she is in her first trimester of pregnancy! Our second nephew or first niece is due to arrive in July. :)

By the end of the photo shoot, we had to bribe Noah with candy.
Noah loved eating the whipped cream off of Aunt Trista's pie.
Noah and Trent.
Noah was fascinated with Lauryn's fold-up hair brush.
Eva loved this huge stuffed doggie. She kept throwing herself at it.
Noah loved playing with Trent and Lauryn.
Lena helping herself to the cheeseball. All. Day. Long.

Mark was popular with the dogs; Hilary's dog Lucy and Mom and Dad's dog Ozzie.

Grandpa enjoyed spending time with the little ones.
We spent the afternoon watching the kids play on the Kinect.
Lena and me. Noah playing with diapers in the background.
Trista and Lauryn relaxing.
Trent must be like Jim; the tongue comes out when he's really concentrating!
Cuddling with Aunt Hil.
Squeezies!
Trent does this funny thing with his cheeks that cracked up Noah.
It looks like Noah is laughing at Grandpa Lee's feet, but I doubt that was the case!
Of course, the kids' favorite place to play was the kitchen.

Lena warmed right up to her Great-Uncle Mark. No surprise there!
Three adults engulfed with toys and books!
We had a really great Thanksgiving. Thanks so much to Mark and Trista for bringing Grandpa out to see us. It was really nice that we could all get together for the holiday.
