Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone enjoyed some relaxing time with family and/or friends. One of the many benefits of living on the same island as my sister is we are able to celebrate holidays together. We headed over to her house and enjoyed the best deep fried turkey yet! Ian did an amazing job!!! We ate, ate, and then played some board games. I am so stinkin' competitive that I didn't like the first game (I kept losing), but I liked the second game :O)
I took my sister's Christmas photo this morning :O) Jackson had a ton of energy but did really well. This was my favorite shot and I told her she should have sent this one out! ha ha
We decided to venture back to Bios on the Hill so that Trisha, Kathleen, and I could go crazy taking pictures. Unfortunately, it is August on a tropical island and it is HOT!! The kids were troopers until they hit the wall from lack of sleep. We had fun and a lot of laughs, from the kids trying to take a goat on a walk to the adults trying to walk on stilts. I love how Japanese places always set up an area for a "photo op" :O) I have turned into a crazy woman and brought my tripod and remote with me so I could get a group shot...I mean I need to document this part of our life too. What you can't see is that there are 3 more kids in the stroller (Emma on top of one, and in each stroller is a 3 month old and a 2 month old) that is right 7 kids and 3 adults!
We have a "friendly" rivalry with my sister's family and ours. We are die hard Cardinals fans and they like the Cubs. One of my brother-in-law's cousins is Sean Marshall who is a pitcher on the Cubs, so it adds a little extra :O) Here is my nephew, Jackson, cheering on the Cards!!!
My sister's in-laws are in town or should I say country, visiting :O) Jan, Kathleen's mother-in-law, introduced Kate to the Richard Scary books and finding goldbug. We weren't over there for 5 minutes before she asked Jan to sit down with her and read. Too cute! Don't worry, I have ordered that and another book on Amazon so she can find her own goldbug :O)
Got to love my brother-in-law! Today, he and his dad came over and mowed out jungle of a yard! And to top it all off Steve even picked up the dog poo :O) Thanks, Steve and Jerry!!!
