yes, i know, i know

I dont even know where to start.
turkey day was great.
I love my family, there are so many of them to love. All with unique personalities and attributes that are all of value.

This is my grandfather "Daddy Jim" why we call him by his first name, I don't fully know the answer to that one. But why fight an old man on a name he has been called for at least 33 years?
He call's Parkey "Pinky" because her hair is apparently pink to him. Its sweet, and funny all at the same time. I'm just thankful he wants to interact with my kiddos.

Lovin' on Foof.
One of the more fun events of that week, was Eric and Foof being here for almost a week.
We really miss them, but had a great time just being around them.
Parkey could not get enough of Foof.
She really misses her, and just wanted to be by her side as much as possible.
There are a few cute pictures over on their blog.

This is where the girls spent most of the meal, in my lap.
You would think that might mean that I didnt get a chance to eat that much, but let me tell you...
I wore my big girl pants for a reason, and they fit me by the time we left.

Brothers-in-law

Tio and Rubes

As I have mentioned before, cousins are a big deal to Parkey.
Here is my cousin Leah, who is 16, and cute as can be.
Sadie Parker wanted to follow her around as much as possible.
They played with Leah's American Girl Dolls, that she had in storage.
SP is ALL about some American Girl Dolls.
