Playing on a friend's farm close by, kids loved running around and seeing all the animals, and tried to climb all over the hay stacks which ended up covering them from head to toe. Was lots of fun before eating big! Thanksgiving was sad this year, but we kept busy with many activities and most of all the kids! We tried to turn our sadness into thankfulness as we all said a prayer of thanks to God for having a sister, aunt, and daughter in our lives for 27 years. I took the babies out to the cemetery early Thurs am, and was telling them all about their aunt Kelsey. After wiping off her grave, I looked up and saw that Kiley was taking all the flowers out of the grave next to Kelsey's. While I was putting them back, both were attempting to take the teddy bears off of another grave. I quickly realized it was time to go! I am glad I took them, b/c my tears of sadness turned into laughter, almost as if Kelsey was saying to me "do not cry Jen"
Getting a little too close to the cows for my comfort! It was funny, all the cows were very far away in the field and after playing for awhile, we looked around and they were surrounding us!
Finally getting to take Cason's place!
What a great picture this turned out to be, not sure how we got all kids to sit still and actually look at the camera, must have been the crazy faces and sounds Paul was making! Kiley is next to her favorite person of course!
So the picture of the 4 cousins did not work so well again, dad had to hold Cason to even get him to sit, and Kiley would not take her eye of her big cousin!
Cason loves to push NeNe around, although many times he gets going too fast for her!
Thank goodness for NeNe, who volunteered to supervise all 4 kids eating while the rest of us ate!
Frying the turkey, first year Hadden got to put on the big gloves and help Papa with the pot!
Kiley showing Spencer some love for once instead of Hadden, not sure Spence was too thrilled with her laying all over him!
All ready for bed! Kiley never takes her eyes off of her big cousin Hadden, who she adores, and follows around everywhere!
My aunt and uncle came through on Sat, and was great to see them again, although I am sure the beach was much more quite and relaxing for them than coming into the house with 4 wild kids!
Double Trouble! Dad found them in the laundry room with the dog food! They were both eating it!!! Kiley looked up all innocent at me and said "oh no"
Loving on aunt Carrie! It was the first time that both of the babies wanted aunt Carrie and uncle Greg over me! That was great for me though, I got to relax! (for a minute at least)
Famous dance party, music full blast and everyone dancing! Hadden will let me know quick if I have the wrong song on! Hopefully the kids will pick up on Paul's dance moves and not mine (or Greg's:)) 
Playing in the Barbie jeep she found in my parents garage, this was going to be a present for her 2nd bday, guess I need to hide it a little better!
