Thanksgiving

We had a great time with family over Thanksgiving. The time went too quickly though. There were lots of good times but my favorite was photographing my niece and nephews. They grow up so fast and you just have to catch all the moments before they pass by. This weekend was especially fun because Ezra was talking a lot and very excited to let me take some pictures. In previous visits it has been hard to get him to smile for a camera. Now Sadie is a different story. She is such a little actress. She loves dancing and making faces at the camera. Jude was doing his best to explain something to me here. I love the "explaining finger" pose. He can say some words already. And here is future-Cranbaby that I will get to photograph! (behind Jude's head :)
In the next two shots you will see Jonathan teaching Jude to chase and poke Andrew with a pie server. Jude looks thrilled with the proposition.
We enjoyed some family bonding time over Skype with the other family missing from our Thanksgiving table. Usually we had no less than 6 in the camera frame at a time. We were all eager to talk and we even got to virtually tour David's house.
And let us not forget the last two family members that were here for Thanksgiving: Jack (on bird patrol) and Lucy (who spent the whole time shut away due to ringworm...).
