Thanksgiving was spent at Jim and Tracy's with the whole gang, Jim, Tracy, Zach, Tosha, Eddie, Joshua, Shelly, John, Amy, Jessica, Britene, Glenn, Raven, Tallen, Colt, Amantha, Damen, and Athan. Jim's parents and sister came out for the actual holiday meal but left before the *partying* was started. We had a fire outside that night when the temperature dropped to desert cold. The day was 75-80 though. Lucky us.

Everyone arrived the night before and the kids had a blast. Tracy found TONS of stuffed animals and toy horses and dinosaur's for them to play with. Damen especially liked the horses. Raven trys to get her boots on since there are horses involved!

The next morning, the kids found the go-cart and proceeded to have a big time. What imaginations they have.

Naturally, Raven is trying to drive for Damen cause it's his first time and she is a old hand at this.

Hey, where the juice cup go?

Beep beep Grandma Nay! You are in the way!

Oh, here it is. Damen was hiding it.

Raven waves as they *go by*.

Bumpy through here so Raven hangs on for dear life.

Checking out the scenery along the trail. (You do understand they are NOT moving, right?)

Damen needs to backup so Raven adjusts the mirror for him.

Josh and Shelly brought their dog whom Raven found fasinating.

I called her name and she promptly ran over. What a sweet child.

Raven LOVES her Aunt T who refuses her NOTHING.

She is content to just sit with T for the longest times.

I managed to talk Tracy into a smile for me. Not sure who walked up behind me just as I snapped though, but they had Tracy's attention.

Glenn giving me that crooked grin of his. Tallen really enjoyed being outside with all of us. Thankfully, it was a warm day.

Raven goes RIGHT to the person she knows will give her whatever she wants.

Tracy can't understand the initial request so Raven explains some more.

Josh and his lovely lady Shelly.

Next morning, time to go again!

Only it's Raven turn to *drive*.

Special buddies sitting in the swing together. These two love each other.

Oops, time for another run. Raven gets in like a pro.

It's nap time and someone is getting sleepy but didn't want to lay down as long as Damen was up.

Tosh was *communing* with the kids when they turned on their heel and walked away. Short attention spans...

The day after Thanksgiving is a perfect day for some paintball! The gang returns from the desert after sniping at each other for a hour or so.

I couldn't resist this shot of Britene returning with them. This was her first time out on paintball.

Josh and his friend were the first to return... think they were the victor's?

Britene dressed in camo, how cute is that? Amy and Jessica bring up the rear.

Josh all laid back and explaining their exploits.

Damen shows his Mom what he found while she was in the house with Athan.

Josh explains how that paintball brushed by his so close...

Oops, time for a tractor ride. Tracy gets him up and used to the tractor before Jim fires it up.

Hey, why isn't it going?

Tracy answers they are waiting on Bo.

Okay then, where is the go button, I will handle this!

Jim comes out and gets things going.

Tracy hands Damen up, who can't wait to get going!!!

Dropped it into gear and they are off.

Damen wanted to drive - of course!

Getting on to evening and no more paintball so it time to clean the guns.

After her nap (Raven was asleep for Damen's tractor ride), BooBoo fires up the tractor again. Still sleepy I guess, she got a little scared.

BooBoo explains the noise is from the stack, nothing to worry about honey.

She wasn't too impressed though, and asked him to get down. Now please. Perhaps another day.

It's time to say goodbye and Tracy got a big hug from her new little buddy Damen.

Raven watches as Damen hugs Tosha too. WHen it was time to get int he car. both Raven and Damen wanted the other in *their* car. They were sad to be riding home in different cars.

Back home and at my house while Mom and Dad celebrate their wedding anniversery... I put Tallen in Raven's lap. He is almost as big as she is!

He wasn't too happy and started to cry. Raven asked me to come get him!

She wiggles her ear to make a point.
