A Typical Family Gathering

DOES IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS? IF SO PLEASE ADVISE HOW!

As the family grows ever larger, it becomes more and more difficult to get together. But, those who can come home for a gathering bring more with them! This year the Thanksgiving time was really special. In this post I have gathered up mostly little children pics. There sure are a bunch of them lately!

This first picture comes from a common activity. Dancing Maddie, Sierra and Ava are showing how it is done.
Soon Maddie's mom from Vermont, Chelle was in on the fun.

And within minutes, Grandma was thoroughly tickled!


Maddie (from Vermont) was missing her brother Anders, but soon got into the fun, and became the life of the party. One of her new activities is dress up. Sometimes in quick succession.

First it was the red checked tights. Notice that at least she now has a top on! Next, she changes into a yellow tutu for a little dance with Grandpa!

Her talents were endless, including a great drummer routine!


She was also not afraid to belt it out when the opportunity arose!


Maddie's little brother Eddie (also from Vermont) was seen doing a little bonding with his Uncle Nathan who was clearly pretty fond of him.


A variety of talents was on display throughout the weekend. Sierra was also an excellent drummer, and Victor proved that Pavarotti has nothing on him!

Naturally a spirited game of pool is a necessity.

And the obligatory family picture is ultimately a must. Lot's of fun adult activities and games also happened, but it sure seems that the older I get the more the holiday's seem to be for the children.
