Thanksgiving

Here goes. Once again my Parents out did themselves! Four days with 6 of the 7 children visiting home and mom and dad were like usual great hosts. Weeks before anyone even shows up my mom and dad start planning. They always try to think through everything so that everyone will be happy and comfortable. Dad usually gets a large list carefully thought out with every detail by my mom, and my mom analyzes and rearranges every room in the house with baby cribs, rockers, fans, sun blocking shades, clean sheets, high chairs etc. I vote them as the best parents. My parents are so generous and would do anything for anyone. Mom made 2 huge dinners before she put on Thanksgiving dinner for 36 people too. She kept going even though she got sick with a bladder infection on Thanksgiving.

Little Cozette being held by Grandma. Is she cute or what?

So the rest of these pictures are completely jumbled up just like my brain!

Are these two little boys cute or what? These are Tyson's little boys and the reason for the Thanksgiving reunion. They blessed little Ryder at my parents home!

Grandma Benge, Kerri and Mark!

Grandma, Nanny, Uncle Ray, and Mark.

The girls! Teja, Kara, Lexi, Cozette, Halle and Roxie! These girls had lots of fun together.

The boys! Brody, George, Ryder, Reggie, Tanner, Hayden, Tiger, and Kelton

Here another one of Tyson's boys. I actually was trying to download one of the other photos for some variety, but some times my computer seems to have a mind of its own, and I'm to lazy to add anymore or figure out what I am missing! They are too cute though! Looking at them makes me just want to squeeze and kiss on them!


Brent doing his duty! He knows what makes a woman happy (a working man)! That way when he disappears for hours at a time he doesn't get into to much trouble(: Can't fool me!!

Even big boys can't seem to keep from wrestling or tackling one another. Just a little friendly UFC fighting after the baby blessing!
Everyone at the baby blessing! My brother Ryan and his family did not make it and we really missed them! Ryan was on call that weekend!
These two were so cute holding hands at the Turkey bowl! I had an even cuter picture of them, but like I said before my computer has a mind of its own!
Kelton not to excited about playing in the Turkey bowl! He was more interested in chatting with the girls on the other side of the fence!

The football players!

Hayden gave the football game a thumbs down this year! He missed his Dobbs cousins. Too many big people playing. Uncle Dallas had invited some of his football friends so they were quite large and probably playing more of an adult game! Brent ran Halle to the quick care during the Turkey bowl as she woke up with an ear infection! Poor girl.

Kara loved Thanksgiving dinner. She cleaned her plate. She waits all year to eat and then eats enough to keep her until next Thanksgiving. That is how she keeps her girlish figure.

Lexi and Tanner the two oldest cousins! They are so good about playing with all the younger cousins that idolize them. They are lots of fun too so who wouldn't want to play with them.

Natalie, adorable Cozette, and Brandi

Princess Halle! All dressed up for the Thanksgiving feast and why not?

Little Ryder fast asleep and baby Cozette wide awake! Isn't this just how life is. The men are always sleeping and the woman are wide eyed!

Love a sleeping baby and he was definitely good at it!

Coloring cousins!

The 3 Turkey cooks!!
Don't you wish they would have helped you make your Turkey?
Thanks to Mom and Dad for a Great Thanksgiving!

GREAT pictures Alison!
It looks like such a wonderful Thanksgiving... you're whole family is incredible. Kind, talented, and beautiful. And I don't think any of you are aging, what's up with that?
