We tried to get some pictures taken of the kids and perhaps a good Xmas card photo! The kids picture turned out well. The family photo was a struggle and I gave up trying to find perfect shot! ha ha ha It seems that a professional photographer is a necessity when trying to pose 2 adults and 2 children. Lauren would refuse to smile, Charlie would squirm around, Chad would smile, and I would get frustrated. And the few times we did get Lauren to smile, someone else wasn't looking at the camera. Like I said, nearly impossible!!
While the grownups were cooking, the kids found a new place to play...the pantry. All three would pile in and shut the door. We would hear giggling, and the occasional "Owww", but they happily amused themselves for a long time, so we did not disturb them. After a few years, we have learned to leave the kids alone when they are playing independently.
This year, we had a grownup table and a kids table.
Aunt Sarah was working on Thanksgiving day, so Grammy and Grumpa hosted a 2nd Thanksgiving dinner for her on Friday. We stuffed ourselves again and then began packing up to head to the Maryland v. Penn State football game in College Park.
