Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an exciting Thanksgiving weekend. Jim's entire family and my entire family were in town and we got to spend a lot of time with them. Jack enjoyed running around with his cousins Ryan and Adam on Thursday night. Ryan: the unhappy turkey

Adam and Ryan both wore the Thanksgiving hats they made at school.
Jack and Mommy snuggled.
Here are the four grandchildren together on the couch.

Uncle David and Aunt Melanie were lots of fun, throwing their nephews around. On Friday we went to the annual Turkey Bowl football game that Jim's friends organize. Unfortunately Jim had to work, but Jack and I went to watch, and my brothers played.

Jack tossed the pigskin some, too.

After awhile the game failed to hold Jack's interest and we wandered over to the playground. Jack climbed the stairs and went down the slide all by himself.

He rode in this cool lady bug.
Jack walked across this funny bridge.

Friday night Jack got to spend time with his Kelly cousins. They played Ring Around the Rosy with him. Everyone was laughing! He liked being the center of attention (as usual).

I like this picture because you can see Bridget scolding Colin for something. Jack is intrigued by her.Later Friday night Jim and I were able to meet up with a number of my cousins at the bar where my brother works. Saturday morning we went to the zoo with my brother, sister-in-law and their 3 boys, as well as my cousin and her 2 boys. Ryan and Adam were dressed for the weather.
Jack walked across this rope bridge without holding Daddy or Mommy's hand!

Jim checked out the animal x-rays.

Saturday night we had the Kelly family Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Unfortunately Grandma and Grandpa couldn't come. After dinner, Paul, Jim, and Karen entertained us with singing and guitar-playing.
