Thanksgiving Fun - Part 1 of 2

We were at my (Brent's) mom's house for Thanksgiving this year.  Gavin and Gage made the name plates for everyone for the tables.  As you can see, they did an absolutely amazing job making turkey name plates and Gavin helped write all the names.

Here is Grandma jumping in for a quick card game to keep the little men occupied while we wait for dinner.  It seems to be working as there are smiles all around.

We took advantage of having the entire crew there to take some family pictures.  This is my (Brent's) side of the family.  With this many faces and people it's hard to catch a good picture of everyone.  I think this is the best of the bunch, though.

Here is everyone plus Great Grandma Swindler and Aunt Lou Jean, JC, and Shannon.  I have great memories as a kid having big Thanksgiving celebrations in Kansas with all my aunt's, uncles, grandparents, and cousins.  I think we might have had close to 30 people at some of those celebrations and it is always quite fun amidst the madhouse.

Here is the picture of our family.  I think it turned out pretty well and everyone made it through the long sitting picture sessions in one piece.
