What a wonderful Thanksgiving! We ate dinner at my cousin Bruce's home. His beautiful wife Annette cooked the best meal. We all went back for a second round at dinner time. Annette and Bruce have 5 precious boys. My cousin Phillip, his wife Cortney and their adorable daughter Olivia joined us from the Mobile area. My Aunt Anne and Uncle Terry were also there as well as several sweet members of Annette's family. My grandmother was also there. It was the biggest and best Thanksgiving I have ever had! Mike had a lot of fun, too.

Annette has done an incredible job of raising 5 incredible boys. Their ages range from 6 years old to a freshman in college. You can bet that I was taking notes. Will took right to her the whole day. She taught me some great secrets to help him with his feeding issues. I think I will put her number on speed dial as Will gets older. She is a wealth of information!
Annette and Bruce's oldest son, Stewart, was amazing with Will. I called him the "baby whisperer." I only wish he lived closer.

This is Annette and Bruce's youngest son, Benjamin. He was so sweet with Will. All of their boys were so great with Will. I've never seen anything like it. I only wish I had thought to take pictures of all of them. In a few years, Will is going to fit right in with all the boys.

Ahhh, with Will in such good hands, I had some time to do some handsewing.
Aunt Anne with Will. 
Oh, how he loved being held by everybody. Especially his great aunt.
My cousin Bruce with Will. He's an expert on raising boys, too. 
Sweet sleep in Cortney's arms. It didn't last long though. Will tried his hardest to stay awake all day. I think he was afraid he would miss something.
Our precious Olivia. She was the beautiful flower girl in our wedding. She has grown so much since then.

Benjamin and Will. Saying goodbye was so hard. We just don't see everyone enough. We are looking forward to coming back many times in the future. Only next time, we'll be bringing Will and the new baby!

Oh Anne Marie, it looks like y'all had a blast with your family and I love the pixs of Will smiling. Oh is he just a doll or what??? And the pix of him laying over Annette's lap is adorable. She looks like a pro huh with 5 boys of her own. You must have figured out the whole packing thing because Will sure looks cute as a button in all of his little clothes. :) Love ya -V
