Our Thanksgiving is all about family. Growing up my cousin Todd from Ohio would spend every summer with us so he is like an older brother to me. He and his family come up and celebrate Thanksgiving with us. His daughters are so great with the little kids. His older daughter, Lexi (in this picture with Mia) is about to turn 13 and she is an awesome babysitter! Mia loves both of Todd's girls and she watches Todd so intently. Kids are drawn to him for some reason.

Lexi's younger sister Faith joined us for the Wisconsin Rapids parade on Wednesday night because in the city where they live they don't have parades or don't go to them so it was a pretty cool experience for her. She loved watching Mia wave and smile and laugh at all the floats (she's never seen a parade before either). It was pretty special for all of us. 

We have a couple more days of family fun before they head back to Ohio and you better believe we're going to enjoy every minute of it. 

Hope your Thanksgiving was as good as mine.
