Thanksgiving 2009

Sixteen of us gathered at Grammie and Grampa's house for Thanksgiving this year. It was great to have all of the Gimme Five together, along with the rest of the family.

I love to watch these kids and see their personalities shining through. Grace is almost always happy and smiling (except when she is throwing a fit).

Emma Jo loves to be the oldest and the big helper. She adores her little cousins and her little brother. It was fun to watch the interactions between Emma Jo and Mays. Those two have a very special relationship. Mays even insisted that he needed to sit next to Emma at dinner.

Dallas is a sweetheart. He very definitely has opinions about what he wants, and what he often wants is Daddy. Dallas had a great time throwing the balls into the pool, just as quickly as the rest of the kids could fish them out. Cooper kept a close eye on him to try to learn a few tricks.

Grampa once again spoiled the Grandkids by purchasing an arcade-style basketball game. The little kids weren't quite sure how to play with it, but the big kids sure liked it.

After dinner the little kids were tired and decided to relax on Grammie's bed with a little Blues Clues.
