Giving Thanks with Family

  

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with Tyson's family this year.  

It was nonstop fun for Samuel with his grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousins.

Tyson and his mom share their love for NC State and we enjoyed watching football with her.  

Samuel played with followed cousin Bella as she set up a "restaraunt" at CiCi's fireplace.  

 Samuel enjoyed getting right in on the action with his big cousins, Ethan and Gavin.  Tyson would wrestle around with them and Samuel was not intimidated a bit.  When Tyson would get on all fours as the boys were jumping on his back, Samuel would get under Tyson like he was participating.  It was so cute, but I didn't get a picture of it. Darn!

We began getting into the Christmas spirit with the PJ's.  The hat only stayed on momentarily - long enough to get this pic.  He was exploring the bag of cars and trucks at Nana and Papa's house.  

 This is sweet baby cousin, Kenley Micah.  Samuel was relatively gentle with her. He called her "baby."

An annual tradition in the Carr Family is to break out the shotguns and shoot clay pigeons.  Tyson's dad organizes this.   It's mainly the guys, but the girls are welcome to shoot too.   Even Samuel got his turn - just kidding!!! We came out when the guys were done to check things out and have some fun.  

Fun family pic with Samuel and Annabella.

Papa took the two little ones for a ride on the four wheeler.  I wasn't outside for the big event, but I heard Samuel was just sort of "along for the ride" this year.  Maybe next year he'll find it more exciting.

Papa and gang!

I do this everytime!  I tend to get more pics of the kids than the adults.  I managed to somehow miss getting any pics of Aunt Erin, Uncle Paul, and Nana.  I'm surprised there are any of me.  I'm usually behind the lense instead of in front of it.  Either way, we so enjoyed the time spent with each person.  We commented that it felt like we had quality conversation with everyone.  Did I mention thanks to Nana and Papa Carr,  T and I even went to movie?  It was a great Thanksgiving and we have so much to be thankful for!
