Thanksgiving

Well, the Gardner Crew had a great Thanksgiving. We travelled about 3 1/2 hours to be with GDaddy's family for the Holiday. We got there Wed. night and had a great time catching up with his dad & step-mom. Little Man had fun sitting on Grandpa's tractor but was mad that he couldn't drive it (by himself). On Thanksgiving we travelled another hour to GDaddy's Uncle's house where the big Gardner get-together was held. Not sure how many people were there but 40-ish? It's the one holiday where ALL the Gardner's get together so it's a lot of fun. We kind of celebrate Christmas at the same time by doing a gift exchange that usually is pretty rowdy and involves a lot of yelling. I've even seen a punch thrown before - all in good fun of course. The kids had so much fun, but Baby Sis promptly stripped off her pretty dress and spent the rest of the day in her diaper until I finally wrestled her to the floor and made her get dressed again. My little nudist. The kids got a few early Christmas present and Baby Sis adored her new tea-set. Yet, mommy made the mistake of buying a ceramic one and several pieces are already chipped or broken. Here's Baby Sis with Aunt Tracie... And Little Man with his favorite cousin K... And finally to round out the Thanksgiving pictures a nice group shot of GDaddy's dad, step-mom, sister,her family and us..... note Little Man having an absolute fit... We spent another day and a half with Brian's mom and sister and her family. It was so nice getting to hang out and spend time with our niece and nephew and see his sister's new place. We were sad to leave but really enjoyed ourselves and came home exhausted. Little Man got to ride on yet another tractor and sit on K's horse, and he went out with Uncle Chad to feed the horses. Here's Uncle Chad, Baby Sis, Cousin C and Little Man all goofing around (however Little Man appears to not be in the goofing around mood)... Little Man and Cousin K on her horse... I have so many more pictures I could post... we really just had a great time but I'll close with a cute little video of Uncle Chad trying to suck Baby Sis' thumb...
