Happy Thanksgiving Dinner!

This Thanksgiving, Ryan really started getting into the spirit of the day! We had a total of 4 Thanksgiving dinners and for every one he would said, "Happy Thanksgiving Dinner" I tried to explain to him that it was Happy Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Dinner, but I guess he decided to do his own version! Not a surprise if you know Ryan! He was also pretty upset that he was not allowed to go to preschool on Thanksgiving since it was Thursday and he thought he should still be able to go. After some coaxing and play time with Emma, then he came around and enjoyed the day!

Anyway, we had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with Brian, Gina, Emma, and Kaitlyn (and mom and dad)! We absolutely LOVED spending time with them and hope they did as well. My favorite comment from the week was when Gina said, "Isn't funny that kids know when they belong together even when they do not see each other much" That is sooooo true Gina and I love that our kids "belong together"!

Here are some pictures from the week that we celebrated Thanksgiving (since we had 4 dinners...it took a week to celebrate!). We also had Aunt Gina's birthday, Daddy's birthday, and we celebrated Aaron's belated and Ryan's early birthdays on Tues at Chucky Cheese. Whew was it a whirlwind of fun! Thank you very much Uncle Brian, Aunt Gina, Emma and Kaitlyn for helping the boys celebrate their birthdays! We had a blast!

All the kids in their John Deere apparel....brainwashing them already!

Oh yeah...one more story....Emma is very imaginitive and has nicknames for everyone! Hers is Alicia (from Go Diego Go), her daddy is now a Wonder Pet (demoted from Diego), her mommy is Mama Jaguir, and her sister is baby Jaguir. Ryan is now Diego, Uncle Paul is Clifford the Big Red Dog, and Aunt Kim is Ruby....Ryan has started following her lead and now calls his mommy Ruby and insists that she call him Diego...luckily it's only once in awhile and not all the time... Especially since mommy has a hard time remembering his real name sometimes!
