Thanksgiving


We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Ocean City with Cullen's family. The whole Scott clan was together again and we took an updated family picture- had to get a new one with Michael in it. And this time everyone was awake (well, we woke Michael up for it) so no one has to be photo-shopped in!
We had a wonderful time. Scott and Blaise could not have enjoyed being with their cousins more. Connor (our nephew) has really grown up a lot since the last time we saw him... or maybe just opened up to us? We actually got Connor hugs, smiles, and he even refered to Cullen as, "my Cullen," which was incredibly amusing to me because that's how Scott refers to him and Elizabeth- as if he owns them. They ran laps around the house, they hid from each other, they watched movies, they read books, they colored, they played football (sort of), we even took them to the boardwalk to run and then to see the Winterfest lights. It was a very fun visit- exhausting, trying to keep up with them in the far from child-proof house, but fun.
Reading to keep them out of things... Playing DS to keep them out of things...
More DS... Scott and Blaise are always a captive audience for such things!


Here's a little video... I promised I would include it. Aunt Carol brought some games for the kids to play. One of the games was Bingo and this is what happens when Uncle Buddy wins at preschool bingo...


Oh, and we played this really cool game called Carcasonne. Add that to our Christmas list, and the kids version too.
