This Thanksgiving we had a lot to be thankful for, namely the opportunity to host anywhere from 10-15 members of our family at a time over the holiday week. Ruth (almost 14 months) was blessed to spend eight fun-packed days with her cousins William (31 months) and Ella (17 months). Also her second cousin, Sonja (3 months), dropped in for a couple days, and introduced Ruth to what life will be like (SOMEDAY) when she has a little brother or sister.

Riding in the backseat was much more fun with Ella around.

Celebrating Christmas a little early!We spent one day at the Florida Aquaium:

Always a cutie!In addition, Cameron, my dad, and my brother-in-law, Doug spent one morning on a private fishing charter in Tampa Bay. Unfortunately they didn't catch anything they could keep, but they had a great day out on the water!
Naturally with this much family together in one place we took the opportunity to take various family pictures, and those will posted soon. For now, we hope you had a very blessed and happy Thanksgiving!
