Thanksgiving in San Antonio

Thanksgiving, Round 2!
On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we headed down to old San Antone to spend the holiday with my side of the family. We had a blast and were thankful for the chance to get to spend a few days with the whole gang. My younger brother and his wife came in from Galveston, my older brother and his family live in San Antonio along with my parents, and both of my brother in laws were there, making it a fun and full house! Here are some pictures of all of our Thanksgiving fun! I sure love our families and always enjoy the time at "home."

Above: Me, my mom, and the little man


Above: The original Coben family with spouses and kids


Above: I love this picture because it cracks me up. My dad was going to set the timer to get a group shot and kept accidentally taking pictures! Daniel is cracking up in the background and for whatever reason this one just makes me smile. :)


Above: Group shot of the whole gang...Cobens, Beversdorfs, Woods, and Cislaghis.


Above: "Just one more..." and Elijah has officially hit his picture limit!


Above: Caught in the line of fire. After the pictures were over, Ethan held Elijah up over his head in a celebratory airplane move...and got a little something back in return.


Above: Alls well and ends well. I promptly provided Ethan with a burp cloth (after the photo op of course) and he got all cleaned up from his son's spit up.


Above: My Dad presents his beautiful turkey! We had two turkeys...one traditional (delicious!) turkey made by my mom and another wonderful turkey made on the grill by my dad. We did not go hungry, to say the least.


Above: The spread...


Above: "Where's my food? Don't I get a plate?"


Above: Elijah laughing hard as we play with his rattle at the table


Above: Dessert! I was in charge of making pies and brought 1 cherry, 2 pumpkin, 2 pecan pies. Daniel baked a cheesecake with a strawberry topping and my dad bought a pumpkin cheesecake as well. Everything was excellent (I mean, I heard it was good...)!


Above: The very serious Coben men...my dad, my older brother Michael, and my "little" brother Daniel


Above: Ethan the pool shark!


Above: Aunt Jenny, the baby charmer... Jenny is holding her nephew Eli and her niece Madison (from her side of the family) and they are both loving her awesome bead necklaces! :)

Above: Before we left town we stopped by Starbucks with my parents on the way out. My mom "volunteered" to hold him while we enjoyed our coffee. :)
