Uncle Tom and Uncle Jerry have carved the turkey for as many years as I can remember. I love that some things never change. Sigh...
We were at my parents' this Thanksgiving...and stayed the whole four days. I was done with conferencing, Jeff was living for sports, and we were escaping any sense of responsibility that existed at home. :)
Aunt Diane made Gracie this lovely blanket...and Gracie lived under it all weekend.
Dad and Nate talking WSU sports...
G'ma Trudy and little Kenley--5 months old
Auntie Sheyanna--she was the turkey with the birthday on Thanksgiving DAY. Gracie's eating protein-less SEE-food.
I love this big family. If we didn't have to raise them and I didn't have to birth them, we'd also have seven children like G'ma and Papa...
Gracie getting in on Kings-in-the-Corner. Uncle Tom is the right person to learn from!
Millie getting in on Up and Down the River--a Moser/Weber holiday staple.
And the turkey highchair was brought back to life for this sweet girl on Thanksgiving Day! Man, she looks like my brother in this picture...cuter, of course.
Chips in a fort for Joshy
We found Ben's old case of matchbox cars and decided to set up a ramp that morning...
This lion sings, "In the jungle, the might jungle..." which is a Greg Moser classic. Our kids have been deathly afraid of this thing for years, yet Mills just looks at it and blows bubbles.
We went shopping the day after...and then...
Mom and Dad invited us to the Blume's where they lit the enormous pile of windbreak trees that Ben and Dad helped haul from the windbreak...it was time for the lighting!
It was amazing!
Finally, on Saturday we helped G'ma Trudy decorate her basement for Christmas. She's busy recovering from her 2nd knee surgery, so we were happy to help. I think she was a bit overwhelmed with the sheer numbers of Mosers who showed up to help...Katie and her three, me and my two, and Mother Joan, the supreme holiday elf. We made quick work of that basement. All ready for Weber Christmas on the 23rd!
Tomato soup and grilled cheese for the littlest elves...
(Notice Joshy's stripped down? In our family, tomato soup eaters under the age of four must wear nothing but skivvies when eating this delicious nectar that stains clothes...and sometimes Jeff does it for the fun of it...)
And here is little Cinderellie--Brooke fed the whole pesky crew while her mom, aunt, and grandma...
...were busy decking the walls. :)
Bring on Christmas! :)
