Thanksgiving reunion part one

 We had a fun reunion with Phil's siblings and their families over Thanksgiving last week. We haven't seen them in about 1 1/2 yrs so this was much needed! Wesley loved all the cousin time and wanted to be right with the big kids. I especially loved seeing Wes with his cousin Shannon (born 4 days before Wes) and Ella (7 months younger). They were pretty sweet together. Some of my favorite moments were spent chatting with Phil's sisters, playing games, and watching the kids play together. We loved having all our nieces and nephews around. They are the sweetest kids and we miss them already. 

The Saturday before Thanksgiving we went to the Tomball parade. The kids loved it and I can see that becoming a tradition in our family. 

(out of order) Annie spent a week at Grandma's before the rest of the family joined us. Wesley LOVES her and she was so sweet to read him books. Annie turned 5 the end of September and is an excellent reader, love her!

Monday we took all the kids to Old McDonald's Farm. The kids loved running free, feeding animals, riding the train, and riding ponies (minus Wesley who was scared of the pony.. strange because he's done it like 3 times before). 

Cute little Shannon

Wes was obsessed with this cute toddler area full of sand toys. He came home covered in sand and  we put him right in the bath.

Sweet Whitney rode with Wesley on the train. Seriously the highlight of the day, Wes was in heaven!

9 out of 10 Grand-kids, sorry Owen maybe next time.

On Tuesday we had the kids create their own cars out of cardboard boxes. Later that night Mom and Bob rented as blow-up screen and projector so we could have our own little backyard drive in. The kids were so creative with their cars and loved every bit of it. We watched Princess Bride and then surprised Mom and Bob with some videos for their 20th anniversary. Natalie made an awesome music video from clips we all sent her and Phil put together a slide show of old and new photos and videos. It was a perfect night celebrating 2 amazing people. 

Sweet Ella

 Owen was giving Grandma the biggest smiles!

Lauren was so sweet with Wes. He loves her.
