Happy Thanksgiving!

We hosted Thanksgiving this year... and boy was it crazy!!! Grandma Patterson (El's mom) was here to visit, and then we had my Grandma Hinrichs and Aunt Judy, my mom and Denny, Bec, Chris and Landon, and Peter and his caretaker Clement, all over. And of course, Emma was CRAZY tired - which equals CRAZY energetic!
While Emma looks adorable in the picture below, you can see on Papa Denny's face that she was about at her wits end trying to get this picture taken, and I believe she went down for a nap right after this. She was so exhausted because Elliott and I (without sweet Olive who stayed home with a very happy Grandma Patterson) took her to see a 7:00 show of Happy Feet 2 the night before. She was so excited to be with out Olive for a change:)
Grandma Patterson loving Olive!
Emma's look of the night! While she was kidding in this picture, it is not far off! I swear I thought she was going to fall asleep at Turkey Dinner!!!!!
Big girl Emma with the "baby" grandkids - we were all actually so impressed with her! she held on tight to them and was just full of proud smiles and fun as she held them tight - such a good big sister! And cousin Landon, well he is just about as easy going as they come!
Great Grandma Dorothy was able to come as well, and she had a special treat holding Olive.
I can't think of much more now, as I am desperately just trying to stay awake to finish this posting!!! Love to all....
