We all went to Laurie’s for Thanksgiving dinner this year and by all I mean 25 of us. A ton of Sparks, Swansons, Dixons and Haywards – a full house and it was great. Cage had a blast playing with Kason (Brett and Jamie’s adorable little boy) and Samantha and Jessica (the twins who are so dang tall!). Gorgeous and calm baby Kaylor got passed around and there was a lot of talk about who is next (and lots of finger pointing by Amber and I). Laurie made a feast and it was delicious – I’m actually surprised I’m still awake enough to post after all of that amazing food!

We are awful about getting pictures of all 3 of us (I’m always behind the camera) so Amber took this one – not too shabby.

With encouragement from Uncle{Coach} Matt – the kids were playing soccer ASAP.

They quickly took it outside, had to work up an appetite!

Cage and Kason – they played so dang well together!

The big boys had to play too of course.

The Kiddie table – notice the plethora of toys behind them in what became the Kiddie room (Cage has a tendency to take over),

After dinner, Cage very sweetly asked “Auntie Amber will you play with me?” She’s such a sucker!

The boys’ usual MO, in the other room, chatting amongst themselves, watching football.
