Columbus Thanksgiving 2023

A photo with the cousins...and Santa! We spent Thanksgiving in Columbus with Jack and Luke's grandparents. Below, the boys made ornaments for everyone prior to the trip.
Then they made more at grandma and grandpas!
They're good sports about this stuff.
Grandma was the mastermind behind the design...
What did they make? Owls!
Look, it's the Thanksgiving goblin!
A main event is the big family gathering at Mary's aunt and uncle's house. I was not good about taking photos but below is one of the boys playing Telestrations with some of their cousins. This is a small fraction of them.
Below are two meaningful photos that Mary posted on Facebook. In short, there was a picture of her grandma as a little girl on the farm, giggling when a cow nudged her. Mary had been searching for it for years. Her aunt Karen (far right) found it! I saw Mary getting emotional with her mother and aunts so snapped a shot. Later I saw the photo.
This is the picture.
Movie night! We watched Oppenheimer over two nights. If you have not yet seen this, go do it right now. It's absolutely phenomenal.
We also did a gift exchange with the boys. I wish I knew what has them in shock in this photo.
Don't ask about Garfield. It's a long story. It has something to do with jealousy, revenge, and a school locker.

Below is a short clip of Luke opening a 2-foot long gummy worm!
Below: Grandma gave the boys some magic glasses that allowed them to see elves.

No, I'm not kidding. Got get a pair for yourself!
There were meals out (Jack has clearly over eaten!) and a lot of fun with the family.
Hopefully I'll get some more photos posted soon.
