my wonderful family.

I didn't have this blog going during Thanksgiving 2011, so I'm back blogging. Thanksgiving 2011 was one for the books, and these pictures are too great not to share. This past Thanksgiving was hosted at my Aunt Nancy & Uncle Mikes house in Spartanburg, SC at the same house we've always had Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. 

This holiday was extra special because of all the 4 pawed additions. As my cousins and I are getting older - we've all decided to get our own dogs. Who was in attendance, you ask? 13 people & 8 dogs (and 9 pies). We questioned whether or not we needed some sort of license for this, or if it was even legal....but we survived with smiles. 

Take a look at my wonderful family. (ps. I warned you about all the dogs)

Full of love. 

Since we were little we've taken the dogs to this nearby cemetery to run. I always loved walking around and reading the tombstones.

Here a few of my favorite cousins & siblings. 

Craziness.

Left-Right: Alli, Bear, Patrick, Max, Easy, Brody, Beth, Josh, Gus, Sadie, Nate.

Notice: Gus's dont mess with me face. 

Sadie, the smallest pooch, always got to the ball first. She's quite the fireball. 

Easy needed a power nap with his favorite aunt after such a fun afternoon. Sleepy pup. 

 I feel so lucky to have these people as my family. Every holiday or gathering is usually filled with dog fun, footballs & frisbees, ESPN, lots of food, beer, and lots & lots of Euchre playing.
