Pirates and Thanksgiving

I am just now posting Thanksgiving pictures. I am also posting pictures of Grayson's (our nephew's) 5th birthday. Mom, Julie, and Randy planned an awesome party for Grayson! Julie made "stations" like Sinking Ship, Walk the Plank, Tatoos, Cannonball Toss, Digging for Gold, etc. Mom had covered boxes to look like pirate ships, painted cannonballs, etc. It was so cute, and the kids had a blast! We had a great turn out!
John let the "pirates" attack him. What a great uncle!
Randy dressed up as a pirate to lead the crew on a treasure hunt around the church. At each "X" they got something: pirate hat, eye patch, sword, treat bag.



Addi just loves babies! She had fun hugging on Baby Katherine.
The awesome pirate ship cake




Aunt Glenda and Emily entertained Ellis and Finley.
Max was ready for the party in his pirate shirt!
Mom worked so hard to make this party special for Grayson!

Thanksgiving at Mom's house...Finley and Reese are just 2 weeks apart. Addi and Riley are just 5 weeks apart. It is so special to have 2nd cousins who are so close together.

John finally gets to hold Ellis!
Memommy has 9 grandchildren (plus all of our spouses) and 10 great-grandchildren!

Aunt Royce and Mom holding Reese and Finley...They get together a few times each month and take the girls to Chick-fil-A to play while Lauren and I are at work.

Thanksgiving with John's side of the family...Laura and Robert

Addi and Harry had fun making marble mazes. Harry is so sweet to play with the kids!

We are so thankful for our families, especially that we all live within an hour of each other. What a blessing...
