Our Thanksgiving

The Moseleys came into town on Tuesday, and we celebrated Thanksgiving with them and the Dyes and the Olives on Tuesday night.
We got to the Dyes' house and discovered that Josiah and Granddaddy were twins!

Strangely, that was my only picture that evening. But the meal was delicious! Josiah had a blast playing, and it was tough to go home to bed that night. Jonathan and David didn't like having to leave the Wii either.

The next day, we celebrated Christmas at the Olives' house.

We were so excited David, Amy and Caleb got to come down too! The three of them and Anna stayed at our house Tuesday night, and it was fun having a big gang for breakfast.

Mimi and Granddaddy gave Josiah a Little People nativity! He's loved playing with it, and already knew most of the characters.

Cousin Charles sweetly brought back their cars that Josiah had played with the night before.

Josiah was CRAZY about cousin Charles. If he left Josiah's vision for a moment, Josiah asked, "Where Charles go?"

Granddaddy showing us a map of Tanzania. They had just returned from a pastorate there. I'm constantly amazed at their willingness to go overseas and serve Christ without hesitation. In their "retirement," he's pastored churches in Romania, Austria, Spain and Tanzania.

We do a gift exchange with this side of the family, and Josiah's opening his gift. He also helped a few other people open theirs.

A Mr. Potato Head! He loves it!

Caleb opening his gift.

The cousins have matching Christmas outfits.

We told Josiah to put Caleb in his lap. He misunderstood and sat in Caleb's lap. Aren't I a wonderful aunt to take a picture before I tried to rescue my nephew?

It reminded me of when Jaclyn and I used to get matching outfits at Christmas.

Hard to get a great shot together.

Did I mention he really likes Charles?

Caleb thought Uncle Jim was hilarious. He squealed every time he went after him.

Most of the gang, minus the photog (and Taylor who was working and Caroline and Will who live in DC).

The rest of the gang headed back Thursday, so we celebrated with the Aaron and Erin that night. We had a great meal, but no pictures - boo! We also had a great meal with our park friends on Monday night. We had a sweet time of prayer at the end of the night.
