Thanksgiving Round 3

Papa and Grammy explaingin the rules to Ayden and AshtenAyden wished for a Remote Control Car.
Ashten wished for a Gun to shoot people.Ayden won!
I told Ashten that he lost because he wished for something naughty. Our last party was today at Grammy and Papa's house. I totally forgot to take pictures until the boys were going to break the wishbone. This dinner was our least traditional, Hawaiian haystacks made with turkey. The kids had a lot of fun playing games, cars, Legos, and watching movies with their cousins in the play room upstairs. Downstairs the grownups played games like Pictionary and Yahtzee. Some of the girls worked on crafts while almost all the boys played Counter Strike on the three computers and two laptops. We left at 1:30am! The boys were beat but they said they loved the party and playing with their cousins.

Thanksgiving Round 2

The Cueto FamilyAshten and Anderson working off their dinner on the exercise bikeAyden This is funny...I thought wow this picture isn't cute of Grandma and her grandsons: Ayden is shrugging or something, Ashten's looking disturbed, AJ is trying to get away and Grandma has her eyes closed but then I saw the next picture... HAHAHA!
Our second dinner was less traditional. We had turkey with lots of Filipino side dishes. It was very good and nice not to have to go straight to the next party to eat the same food again. This time there were lots of kids for Ayden and Ashten to play with. They were all boys so it got rowdy fast! They were teasing their uncle Marlon and running around screaming. No one seemed to mind other than me haha. We had lots of fun and it was good to see this side of the family as some of them had not met AJ. He was the center of everyone's attention at this party, which he wasn't sure about, except when there was pie involved.

Thanksgiving Round One

Me and AndersonAfter dinner AJ was acting a little cranky so we set him on a chair just because we were out of options. He actually sat there for a good 30 minutes just looking around just like this. It was pretty funny.Battle of the Sexes
Girls: Hillary, Me, Natalie, Kristin, and Aunt Ardie
Guys: Armand, Dad, Peter, Wes, and Aaron
Boys whooped the girls...can you believe it? Zero was going on at the other table
Grandma, Carol, Aubrey, Mom, Julie, Brian
Ayden and Ashten had lots of questions for Aunt Ardie, who was visiting from Utah Ashten kept coming to me and saying "my belly hurts", a few minutes later I'd see him with more food. He'd come back to me again saying "my belly hurts". I kept telling him to stop eating but he didn't get it.

Today is Turkey Day! Our first celebration was at Grandma Anderson's house for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was delicious. They boys had a great time playing with all the family that they don't get to see very often. There weren't any kids their age the closest being 16 ... so basically, not close at all. haha I was worried that they may get bored but they had tons of fun I barely saw them the whole time. Anderson ate throughout the entire visit there and eventually I laid him on the couch and he passed out within minutes despite all the "partying" going on. We had to leave early this year because Armand's family was also having a Thanksgiving Dinner this year.
