Preparing the tables for our big Thanksgiving dinner
We welcomed our newest great-nephew, Ian.
Here is our other great-nephew and proud big brother, Gavin.
Cheryl took lots of pictures. :0) Here is Jill and Ian, Patti, and Dean.

Grandma Cheryl with Ian and Dani (and a "hint" of JJ)
Jill just had to have Gavin sport a Packers jersey knowing how big of a Steelers fan I am!! Gavin enjoyed JJ since she looks just like his Golden Retriever, Molly. Then we covered up his Packers jersey :) in order for him to head outside and help Uncle Darrell turn on the Christmas lights (which is also another tradition when we are all gathered together on Thanksgiving night). Boy, did he enjoy pushing the remote controls to turn the lights on. He was VERY excited!! He spent a lot of time with Uncle Darrell turning them on and off!! It was so much fun seeing his eyes light up each time!!
He even wanted to have his picture taken with the lights. :)
Toward the end of the evening, it was very emotional as Mom recognized her last Thanksgiving with us. She was struggling to breathe most of the day even with her oxygen. The prednisone really has made her look "puffy" as she would say.
It was bittersweet taking family pictures with her.
