We went down to Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving this year. All of Phillip's family were going to be there other than Scott who is still on his mission. We had a really good time. We stayed at Shawna's house with Andrew's family and the kids got to spend so much time playing with their cousins, playing games and making up shows. It was so fun to watch them.
Thanksgiving morning, a bunch of the family went to run a 5K Turkey Trot in the freezing weather. I stayed home to watch the Macy's Parade and watch the little kids but everyone that went had a great time.
After everyone showered up, we headed to the church building for activities and dinner. The family has grown out of using someone's house so we were lucky to be able to go to the church and have some room to spread out. We had some yummy appetizers a few hours before dinner...here's Ben sneaking a few ; )
Chowing down
Addison and her cousin Maddy and some family friends made up a cute Thanksgiving "show". They were so excited to show it to us and it was about being thankful and having a happy Thanksgiving. Super cute.
Playing Speed in the gym.
Shawna had gotten some nursery toys out so this is where Cooper spent most of his time
Getting a little bit of practice in before baby girl comes. It was nice of Jen to let me hold her for as long as I wanted. I forgot how tiny they are!
It wouldn't be a Passey family gathering if we didn't find Kevin asleep on a chair somewhere!

The dinner spread. It was all SO good. And we still had more in the kitchen to replenish things.
The awesome dessert table. I want some right now!
The whole gang. There were 33 of us. I can't believe we actually got a picture of us ALL looking at the camera and looking good. It was really quite amazing!
Just one of me and my little belly
Every year after Thanksgiving the kids get their new Christmas pajamas. I love this tradition. This way, they can wear them all season, not just right before Christmas. Here's the kids in their new jammies. They are so cute!
Shawna, Sarah and I did some black Friday shopping so the boys took the kids to the park. It's a really nice park and the kids had a blast. The weather was perfect so they were able to stay pretty much all afternoon.

She was so excited she climbed to the top of this rock
Beautiful sunny day
Cutie Pie Cousins
Noah and Addison are the same age and they were attached at the hip pretty much all weekend.
Addison LOVES Sophie. They love being silly together.
Feeding the ducks
All the little kids trying to gang up on Uncle Ryan. They succeeded.
Sarah and Cooper. They stayed together the ENTIRE weekend. It was SO cute to watch them. Holding hands, chasing each other, playing non-stop. 2 cute little redhead cousins!
After the park we went to CiCi's for dinner. Huge crowd, we took up 8 tables!
Andrew brought his giant trailer down from Virginia so we could all climb on it and drive around the neighborhood singing Christmas carols. It was pretty cold but we bundled up in blankets and had hot chocolate so that helped. We had a lot of fun and a few people even came out to listen and wave to us.

Cooper and his cousin Porter. Love the way Porter is looking at him!
