We love Thanksgiving because it gives us lots of time with family we don't get to see as often as we'd like!! Will loves playing with all of his cousins...
The night before Thanksgiving we celebrated Thanksgiving Part 1 with the Vakakes side. Will and James entertained themselves, and all of us for that matter dancing to Choo Choo Soul, throwing things, basically being boys.
They got to take a bath together and James taught Will how to "swim" in the bathtub. They looked like little frogs in there!Their Yia Yia's thought it would be a good idea to pile up all of Will's stuffed animals in his crib and then put them in there. They thought it was pretty funny!
I hope these little guys are the best of friends!
Thanksgiving Day we celebrated Part II with my dad's side of the family. There are LOTS of cousins there-Will is the youngest. I had to be in the little cousin picture this year because Will would not let anyone hold him. I have a feeling I will be in the little cousin picture for a while!
We moved on to Thanksgiving Part III at John's mom's side of the family. There he played with Emma, in matching outfits of course!! We tried to get some good pictures of them but they all looked like a jail line up!
Emma and Will were so sweet playing on the stairs...they kept giving each other kisses through the rails! Adorable.
Thanksgiving Part IV took place on Friday at my parents house, and well through the weekend as we got to visit with my brother, sister in law, nephew, and niece. John was at the Iron Bowl, which was a good thing-it would have been very interesting to watch that game all under the same roof with John and my dad and brother-especially this year. Saturday we hung out some more. Kiki TRIED to get a good picture with her grandkids....You can see how Will felt about that.
We celebrated Brandon's birthday Saturday night at Maccaroni Grill and sent them all on their way back home on Sunday.The picture at the top was taken on Saturday afternoon when I desperately tried to get a few good pictures for our Christmas card. I thought last year was bad....NOTHING compared to this year. Will would hardly stand still for a split second. When I got inside and looked at all that I had taken, most were blurry because he had taken off into a sprint. I managed to get one, maybe two options. This is why I decided not to do a whole family card this year-too difficult getting Will to look at the camera, much less all of us at the SAME time!
We are looking forward to getting our Christmas tree this weekend and a much anticipated trip to see "HO HO."
