Thanksgiving Too!

Does it seem wrong that I posted Christmas pics before the Thanksgiving ones?  Again, this is real life, where things don't always go in order.  We spent Thanksgiving at my aunt and uncle's.  It was also a pretty typical Thanksgiving.  Lots of food and family and stories.  These pictures though capture the highlights.

My cousin, Quinn, has created  medieval weapons from duct tape.

So of course, all the boys wanted to play.

What could possible go wrong?

The game they invented was a riot to watch.

Basically, if an opponent touched you with his weapon, you lost the use of whatever body part the weapon touched.

So they played on their knees, with arms behind their backs, etc..

I'd like to think the neighbors were surprised but I'm pretty sure they were not.

And yes, even the little boys who were 3 and 4 wanted in on the game.

Of course, there were no duct tape weapons left for them so we gave them a wooden stick and a wooden toy rifle.

We're wise like that.

Because we believe in gender stereotyping, the girls did something much more refined.

My cousin, Brenna, planned a tea party for the two little girls who were thrilled.
