Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a pretty fun week.  The Barnhursts stayed at grandma's house for one whole week and it was nothing but cousin heaven.  Because the ages and genders of these cousins match up so well, it was nonstop happiness all week long.  One day, the boys all decided to spend the entire day outside, so we packed up lunches and sent them on their way.  When the girls got word of what was happening, they insisted on doing the same thing.  Funny thing is... the girls outlasted the boys... they were very proud of themselves.  I was in charge of the turkey... turned out acceptable but not great.  Still was a memorable feast!  The day after Thanksgiving, Joseph took all the kids out for track and field day.  They were timed on short distance and long distance, long jump, flexibility, etc.  It was pretty fun to see the competitive nature of the kids come out.  Ironically, I think Ruth may be my most competitive.
