In our family the men usually sit in the living room snacking or just talking as the women prepare the meal...
Here's my aunt and mom...
And cousin...
A little wine was served. Whoa! Cut her off, she's a lightweight :)
Lm is very curious and wanted to explore every room.
My aunt and uncle have a lot of grandkids, so they have a lot of toys that were new to L&L. They had a great time and were never bored.

Dad and my cousin's wife chat as we get ready to fill our plates...
L&L are no longer the "babies" of the family, since my cousin and his wife had a baby boy 7 months ago...
"He drooled on me," my cousin said after he put the baby down for a nap. Hence, the water mark...
Thanksgiving was a major breakthrough, because it was the first holiday since my guys were born that they let me eat my entire meal in peace. I actually got a little misty-eyed on the last couple of bites, upon realizing they were going to let me eat my meal without needing me to fix some crisis du jour. I even got to eat a piece of pie afterward, no kidding!

It was pretty cool outside but they had a lot of energy and cousins to play with, so they went outside and rode around on trikes for awhile.
Lk's cousin follows him to make sure he doesn't ride out into the street...
"Don't worry, I'm a good driver!" their cousin said as he drove them around in the wagon.
I didn't even attempt to have them take their normal naps, as I knew they would not sleep in another environment, plus they wouldn' t want to miss out on any fun.

Always as we're leaving my aunt wants to start taking the group pics, and so we attempted a few here...
Lm tried to pluck off the leaves of my aunt's plants.
They were totally wiped out!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving too!

They ran around so much that I hoped they'd sleep the whole ride home, but alas, they only gave us 20 minutes of peace.

Looks like you & the boys had a wonderful Thanksgiving at your Aunt's place! I had to laugh when you said your boys wanted to explore and check out all the rooms! Hannah had a total field day at my sister's FIL's house! Hannah was a leaf plucker as well! hehehe Talk about busy! LOL
How wonderful that your boys had his cousins to play with. I don't know about you, but it really helped me out and Hannah wasn't such a cling on.
Great Thanksgiving pictures! Love the shots of your cuties sleeping on the drive home. :o)
I think you look so much like your mom! :o)
