Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This year we had a smaller than usual gathering and so were able to host it at our house.  Elvin made roasted chicken and Emily's sister family brought smoked turkey that they made on the grill. We also had ham, biscuits and other goodies.

 The cousins had lots of fun together.  Here they are all "stacked up".

 When it was time to dig in, Gabriel helped himself to the olives.

 Yum yum!  Xiao Yu really likes his cousin Anders and wanted Anders to sit next to him.

After dinner, it was wrestling time!  Anders is quite tall now, as you can see, and he towers over the other kids.  That doesn't stop them from climbing all over him like monkeys.

 And then it was dessert time.  We had cookies and pumpkin pie, as well as lemon meringue pie.

Gabe loves electronics and was glued to Anders' iPad whenever it was turned on.

 And when the iPad was NOT on, then it was back to wrestling with their cousin!
