Thanksgiving #2

Thanksgiving #2 was in Searcy at my parent's house.  After the first one with Michael's dad we drove up to Searcy for the week.  We got to hang out with Morgan, Jamie, J. David, Myles, Lindsay, my parents, and Harley for the week.  We had a blast.  We played lots of games and ate really well all week.  It rained most of the week and was really wet so we were indoors for most of the week.  The kids were very ready to get out of the house by the end of the week.  For as excited as J. David and Eden were to see each other and play, they got kind of short with each other all week.  It kind of surprised us but they are both very competitive and want to do everything first.  Talk about getting lots of lessons on patience and taking turns=)  They had a great time together too.  They played doctor and patient a lot.  They also sang and performed for us.  I will have to post video of that, it is adorable.  Here are some pictures from the week.

Myles all wrapped up after a bath.  He is the smiliest little boy EVER!!!!  He always has one on his face.   I love it....lights up a room!

 Eden pretending to play the violin and singing at the same time.

 A whole Trotter family picture.

 Anybody notice Eden's face????  Someone told everyone to make a silly face and then right before the picture yelled Smile and she didn't get the memo (or listen;) 

 My parent's with the grand kids.

 J.David and Myles.  Love their big grins. Precious.

 Eden and Harper.  Harper had had enough.  We couldn't get her to grin at all.

 Family picture.

 Morgan and family.  Love this.

 My little turkey's on Thanksgiving Day.  So very thankful for them, Michael, my family, and all my extended families.  I am so blessed!

 The first morning we were in Searcy my sister let them open a gift she had made for Eden and J. David. Lindsay made them each a blanket and they LOVED them.  Eden's was pretty much glued to her hip all week;)

 Eden's was a Tangled blanket and J. David's was a Cardinals one.

 Harper with Uncle Morgan.

While we were in Searcy, Harley turned two so we gave him a birthday party.  The kids LOVED this and helping with it. 

 Lindsay with Harley and J. David holding the bone shaped Rice Krispie treat.

 Harley pretending to blow out the candles on his ball of dog food that he seriously inhaled in one bite.

 The kids helping to open up Harley's wrapped toys.  

 Myles and Harper playing together.  If you look closely you can see Harper's huge smile.  She loved looking at Myles all week.  But then again who didn't?

 Finally, it was dry enough to put out the inflatable.  Eden and J. David had a blast on this and taking turns jumping.  This wore them out for a good nap that day.

 Two cuties.

 Myles got really good at climbing into these little folding chairs for the kids table.  He loved having his own seat and sitting with the older kids.

 My sister had seen these tents somewhere and my dad made them for the kids.  They LOVED them.  Eden and J. David each had their own.  They were super simple and easy to put together.  Thanks dad for the tents.  Now every time they are at my parents they can play with them or sleep in them. So fun!

We had such a great week with my family.  We actually did Christmas with everyone since some won't be back for Christmas. That will be another post.
