~*~ What a way to bring in the new seasons...with a little song and entertainment!
Courtesy of my nephew Cody, of course! I am so impressed and proud of the way he has taught himself to play! I even have a few request lined out for him!
As do his many fans!
~*~ Mark had a few of his favorite peeps over for another poker game. After loading up on stromboli and salad, they headed over to the table and got their game faces on!
This is a very serious time...kids are hushed...grim faces are in place...knees are nervously shaking...
...because as you can see...there is some big time cash up for grabs! Hee-hee!

~*~ Elijah wanted to try out his new borrowed Bumbo! Yes, its pink....its borrowed from Miss Piper...I'm sure if he had his choice it would be in a nice shade of baby blue! But in today economy, you got to do what you got to do...even if it puts a dent in your ego.
A little wobbly at first...but I think he might be warming up to the idea!
Oh yeah...this thing is pretty darn cool! How you likin' me now, ladies?!!?!
~*~ Basketball season has started! As a family, we enjoy watching this sport the most. Madi playes point guard/wing and we are really proud of how much she has improved from last year! CONFIDENCE is a good thing! 
The girls gathered up some of their crafts to display...in this case, two little turkeys!
They then helped me in the kitchen. The perks of belonging to a large family that celebrates with a large dinner is that you only have to make a couple of dishes for Thanksgiving!
While our goodies bake, we sit around and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I have made this a tradition in our house...one that Mark despises! He usually slips off to another room with a TV. That is fine with me...keeps me from having to hide my tears! Yes...I still get teary-eyed at every parade I watch....its weird!
Once noon is here, we head off for the Edwards Thanksgiving dinner...complete with many, many family members and friends....door prizes.....
.....and the "Mile of Misery"! Ohhh....but what a blissful trip it is! Yum!
This pretty much sums up the way we feel by the end of the day!
This year, we headed home earlier than normal and got pretty!
~*~ I arranged the twins bedroom to make more floor room. After a tidy here...and a tidy there...the girls thought they had a whole new room! I don't think they came out for the rest of the night! If that is the secret...I'm hiring a maid!

~*~ The holiday of the time....THANKSGIVING! I can't even begin to count my blessings one by one, because they have been so abundant...for that I am thankful. We woke up to a colorful, yet chilly morning.
