Thanksgiving 2011

For Thanksgiving in Houston we always go to Aunt Joy and Uncle Dennis' place for a BIG wonderful Thanksgiving meal. (Aunt Joy is Jeff's Mom's sister) We usually have 30+ people!
This year Jeff and I brought two pies: Apple Pear Crumble and Cherry Pie. However those couldn't compete with the Pumpkin Cheesecake. We lose again! (We also brought yams covered in brown sugar and marshmallows. DELISH) Christine somehow convinced GiGi to feed her pie and discovered that she LOVES pie.

The highlight of Thanksgiving this year was Jeff's brothers and their families drove down to Houston! It was so fun to see them and spend some time together. Christine loved playing with her cousins.
Emmy and Christine (the twin cousins) showed off their piano skills


Emmy taught Christine how to wear a necklace like a purse.

And Mia and Rachel smothered Christine with love!

After Thanksgiving we spent a little time a Gigi's. The older cousins shot bee-bee guns while Christine and I hid in the house. We played card games and Mia and Rachel showed off their magic tricks. Then Jeff and I mystified them all with our TRUE magic skills.
