We are thankful for Uncle Mike

I just can't seem to keep up with my blog, but I am trying to do better. I have done a poor job of keeping my camera around at all of our family activities. My camera was pretty much non-existent at both of my families Thanksgiving celebrations except for a few select activities. Anyone who knows the Boston side of the family knows that we tend to pick on each other alot. This thanksgiving we were reminded why we are thankful for Uncle Mike. We always give Mike a hard time for being useless at family activities, but not this Thanksgiving. He was going to prove us wrong. He rounded up all of the cousins and took charge of them until it was time to eat. He even offered to clean our floor when the Turkey pan tipped and grease covered our kitchen. If you look close you can see my husbands hands in the background. He was taking great pleasure in instructing his older brother to stay down and keep cleaning until his floor was spotless.
Later on that evening Mikes youngest son had wet clothes and needed a new outfit. We were reminded of how thankful we were for Uncle Mike, so we thought it would only be appropriate to let Jaiden borrow one of Allyson finest outfits. This was the best way to show Uncle Mike our true appreciation for all of the hard work he put into this Thanksgiving.

SIDE NOTE: My daughter just came in while I was typing this blog and immediately started belly laughing. She pointed her finger at the picture while laughing and said "JJ is in my dress! He is silly".
