Rider Thanksgiving/Grandpa's 80th birthday

Last weekend we celebrated Grandpa Rider's 80th birthday and an early Thanksgiving, up in Longview.  Grandma and Grandpa are snow birds and have usually gone south by now, but they stuck around for a bit longer than usual this year, so we got to celebrate with them.  Sophia always loves being with her second cousins, and this year was baby central so Lincoln had buddies to play with too.  We did manage to get a picture of Grandma and Grandpa with all 10 of their great grand kids.

Buddy boy enjoying his first taste of meat (turkey).  Sophia's first meat was turkey on Thanksgiving too.

Lincoln and Emma.  She is three weeks older than him, and put him to shame in the moving department.  She was everywhere, and our little buddy is happy as a clam sitting in one spot forever. :)

Excuse the cut off heads and (1)missing kid, I had my short lens on the camera and with everyone trying to get in on the picture I had no way of moving back and getting everyone in the frame :(

The birthday boy getting sung to.  He sure has a special place in a lot of our hearts!
