Giving Thanks for Cousins

The boys got to spend Thanksgiving with their best friends -- two of their cousins! Of course they got Grandma, Grandpa, and two aunts and uncles in the bargain as well, but it's nice to watch the four little boys play together.

Jonathan (center) has always been a really sweet kid, but since he turned 4, he's apparently (according to his mom) decided that following rules and stuff works better than not. In this picture, he is patiently and sweetly "reading" to Adam and Andrew. I think this was the book with the snakes in it. He was reading to them that "THIS snake is very poisonous. You should NOT try to kill it. Leave it ALONE." Too cute.

Andrew is an ace at smiling at the camera. He has such a pleasant little face -- and it goes along with his personality. He's always pretty even-tempered (except when he's hungry!) -- I could stand for my corresponding-age boy to take a little from the Andrew book.

We went over to the church fellowship hall for a little large-motor fun on Friday afternoon. Jonathan and Andrew have a couple of Plasma Cars, which are fun to "drive" using the steering handle. Mark and Jonathan drove the things all over, while Andrew and Adam used other ride-on toys -- Adam favoring the Lightning McQueen ride-on. They had soooo much fun.

It also turns out that, when the situations seems to warrant it, Mark can actually pedal. It was a little hard to pedal as fast as he wanted on the slick floor, but no, we do NOT have to enroll him in a remedial tricycle class in kindergarten. WHEW.
