We took Alden down to see the local family for his first Thanksgiving, and he really enjoyed himself. He's naturally a ham (takes after his mommy...), and he loved having everyone coo over him and pass him around to talk to him and comment about his little chubby cheeks.
We enjoyed seeing everyone as well. Grandma and Grandpa Mackey drove up from Olympia - Grandpa is still a good driver, though he doesn't like to drive at night. They just had their 64th anniversary - setting a standard to which we can aspire. Kate and Christina are growing up too - Christina is a freshman now, and, as amazing as it was for me to consider, was actually getting her homework done early. Kate led the charge in making, and eating some home-made ice cream. Dinner was great, and everyone enjoyed himself/herself - and Alden was kind enough to take a nap during the meal so we could eat at a semi-leisurely pace.
The pics above are 1) Alden sitting with cousin Kate, with Great Aunt Sharon, Great Grandpa Mackey, Great Grandma Mackey and Mommy; 2) Alden with his cousins Kate and Christina; 3) Alden with Great Grandpa Mackey; 4) Alden with Great Grandpa Mackey and Great Uncle Rick; 5) Alden with Great Grandpa Mackey and Mommy; and 6) Alden with Great Grandma Mackey and Mommy.
I'll make a separate post with a video clip.
