Thanksgiving with the Illmans

We hosted Thanksgiving with the Illman side of the family this year, in Marion. It was a bit crazy to get the house all orgainzed before everyone arrived, but thank goodness they are all flexible and things went really well, we had a great time. Here is a sampling of the good times. (So fun to have so many Bama fams all together for the Iron Bowl!)

All the cousins in the tub......

We spent a lot of time outside. So great to have a yard this time when the family got together. Outside time always turned into tackle time.....

While we were all together, we let the cousins exchange early Christmas gift...

We took the kids to the park to feed the ducks. The boys were eager to chase the ducks while the girls were a bit more nurturing. I tried to keep my distance and did use a child or two as a shield. Hopefully my kids will be a bit more fond of our flying friends than their mother...
