Thanksgiving 2014

 Thanksgiving was spent in Lewiston this year with some of the Hall family.  As we expected, it was a fun filled weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  Beckham was reunited with cousins and Grandma & Grandpa, which is all a boy can ask for!  Really.

I am now just realizing that I do not have one single photo of the Thanksgiving feast, but it was delicious.  Here are few highlights from our holiday.

The reunion of Beckham and his cousins was simply wonderful to watch.  He loves each one so much.  He can't wait to be like the big kids and all sleep together on the floor in the family room.  Until now, he had to sleep with Mom and Dad.

Story time is something Beckham loves and story time at Grandma's house is significantly better.  I don't blame him.  I mean she is a pretty good story teller.  It was treat to snuggle up with Grandma and a few cousins (everyone want to be right next to her!) and read a book.

 Better yet, Grandma has some storybooks on her Ipad, which is truly a treat.  I cannot tell you how many time Beckham has requested that we drive all the way back to Grandma's house and read her special "Monster books" (sesame street) on her Ipad.  What fun!

 At Grandma's house, everyone congregates in the kitchen.  Grandma has wonderful food and caters to the grand kids.  They are pretty darn lucky.

 It was fantastic weather, which gave the kids the opportunity to play outside.  Beckham thought the trampoline was very cool and loved jumping for a long time on it with his cousins.  Thank goodness for all of his good cousins that helped him jump and played with him outside.  

We didn't get any pictures of it, but Beckham also went to the swimming pool while there.  Grandma and Grandpa bought an extra room at a hotel - there are a lot of us! - and that means the kids could all go swimming.  How fun is that?!  Beckham was a little fish and had absolutely no fear of the water.  He was ready to take off with his cousins and not look back.  One day.  It was a very fun way to end Thanksgiving day, and something Beckham still talks about.

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving and we were so happy to be with our family in Lewiston.   Thank goodness for a super Grandma and all her fun planning.  This weekend was one for the books!
