Thanksgiving Week Pictures

What happens when you have 7 extra people sleeping at your house?   You forget your own meme, yep, I totally forgot to do Ten Things to Smile About This Month last Tuesday, so it will be this Tuesday, so please all join in tomorrow for 10 Things to Smile About.

What did I do with those 7 extra people at my house? 

We buried each other in sand

Games were played- which yes did end with at least one kid in tears (not mine actually)

Thanksgiving dinner was consumed; my brother and his family left before Thanksgiving, but we celebrated with my older sister and her family and my parents (and we totally took the easy way out this year)

Someone celebrated a birthday- on Thanksgiving day

These two are less than a month apart and they had so much fun this trip, really just two peas in a pod.
So that is why I forgot my own meme, but I will not forget for tomorrow; so come back tomorrow and link with your 10 Things to Smile About in November.

    1. It really was fun, a few fights and squabbles but with that many kids it is bound to happen, but it was fun. So happy to see you are back to blogging!! I have missed your posts.

  2. Well I can see why you forgot to do your own meme! You guys were busy! The kids must have had a blast with their cousins!

    I have to ask...why were some of your family members wearing matching Hershey's t-shirts? :o)

    1. They did have so much fun. Some fights at times but overall a great trip. They like to coordinate when they go on vacation (or maybe it is all the time I honestly am not sure). I think anytime they are all going somewhere as a family they like to coordinate.
