Thanksgiving Day 2012!

We spent Thanksgiving weekend with my cousin's family in Springfield, IL this year and my mom's side of the family all gathered at her house.  It was a change-up from our normal plans but definitely nice for us, the traveling band of gypsies.  We were able to fly into St. Louis, which is a shorter flight, and our drive to the final destination was much shorter as well.  I know you don't care about these boring details - but if you were the one wrasslin' Jack on the plane, you'd care.

And without further ado, here is the explosion of pictures from Thanksgiving Day:

MaMa and Bay, looking so gorgeous!  

Rob digging into the traditional Cheese Pile

Kissing Grandpa's scratchy face!

There's a shot of the shirt.  When you are a crazy mom and have a shirt made especially for one holiday, you will work at it a bit to get a respectable picture of it.  

Uncle Jeff, Grant, and MaMa

Digging for the best pieces of puppy chow

Turkey shirt didn't last long - it's jammie time for this little traveler!

The traditional camera shot with Michael's camera - not too shabby!  We're missing two full families in this shot, plus some of Lori's.  Maybe next year!
