Thankful For Thanksgiving 2010

We were so thankful for Thanksgiving this year as we were in Chicago at BB & Papa's house with the whole family. So very special! Here we are, a family of 3.5 about to enjoy a delicious feast. As you can see, Kellan was VERY EXCITED about his first REAL Thanksgiving feast. He gleefully gobbled up his turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, green beans & pie squealing 'MMMMMM' along the way!
Daddy making 2 plates this year...one for his belly and one for Kellan!
The Family - Lookin' Good Everyone!
The gorgeous and distinguished GG & most of her great-grandchildren. Andrew, Clayton, David, Kellan & Caroline!! Austin was not so into the paparazzi at that moment and sweet Grace was at her grandparents house this year.
Our surprise guests and musical entertainment for the evening - Squanto Clayton the Indian and Pilgrim Girl Carolina!
