The theme of this Thanksgiving was Cousin FUN! The girls are getting to the point where 4 out of 5 can actually play together. It is so fun to see Amelia interacting with her cousins and building memories!
This Thanksgiving we went to Des Moines, since Aunt Jenna was so close to her due date. We stayed with Aunt Amber. Do not be fooled, Amelia did not sleep in Joey's kennel for the night, but she did think it was a fun fort in the morning!
Aunt Amber and Isabelle!
Who knew Joey's travel kennel could be so fun to play in!
The calm before the feeding fest

Amelia pushing the loved by all cousins baby. This was a great exercise in taking turns. Amelia did really well with it too - 'taking turns' seemed to click better than 'sharing'
Eating Thanksgiving meal!
Alaina and Isabelle. These two could totally be sisters! Its amazing how much they look alike.
Lots of laughter!
Papa with his owie leg. The girls were very fascinated with it.

Daddy and Olivia! There was lots of wrestling and pile on whatever adult that was laying on the ground.

Isabelle with Papa. Note Isabelle NOT crying. This holiday ended up being quite the stranger danger holiday for Isabelle. And Papa was definitely a stranger most times with Isabelle. But there were moments when he was friendly.
Wrestling with mommy!
We had to get our card playing in! Paige was even in on the fun - learning how to shuffle.
Good ole hand and foot!
Olivia all played out and exhausted!
Isabelle and Aunt Jenna
We had a dance party - or more like the cousins had a dance party. This was the hugging part of the dance.
Olivia showed her special moves.
And then Amelia did too!
A little airplane action!
Flying!
Paige was working on her ballerina moves. Olivia showed us her somersaults!
More moves shown by all! It was quite entertaining!
