Thanksgiving, Part I: The People

Of course, as most of you know, the highlight of our family's Thanksgiving this year was my mom and dad's six grandchildren. Particularly the three babies, Cora (4/24), Ryan (5/5), and Anakin (5/28). They were all pure joy. Happy babies. Bradford and McCance and Lexi had their first real playtimes together since Lexi is 3 now. We missed the Monte, Tony, and Tim Page branches of our family this year, but the rest was represented even if not pictured. (Missed you Aaron and Lara!)

Yes, he's putting a clip in her hair! What a dad!

I sure wish she lived a bit closer. I could use her help and her company.

Believe it or not, this was a sparse attendance at the Page family Thanksgiving.

They really enjoyed the giraffe's neck, which was actually my toy as a baby.

Lexi was more interested in learning to be a photographer.

Notice Lexi helping Auntie Cara take pictures, plus Grandma Carole,
Evan, and Sara (our official photographer) while Steph and I
try to get them to look up towards the cameras.
