Thanksgiving Weekend

While in Illinois, we also visited My Grandpa Steagall (My Mom's dad) and my cousins on that side of the family. He just out of the hospital for double pneumonia. We were happy we were able to see him, too!

My Mini-Me Brittany and I. (We are both short for our ages)


The Cousins


The Bender Clan: Brayden, Joanne, Alexandria, Damien, Brittany, Andruw and Brad
( F.Y.I - She wants MORE kids. I know she's crazy. She's smoking something!)
LOL!- Just kidding Joanne


Christopher, His Girl friend (Sorry - Forgot her name!- who is VERY nice by the way.)and their 2 month old son Rylan Christopher.
He is such a cutie. I was able to hold him for like 1 minute before he started crying. I think he was able to smell the fear that I was trying to hide. When I got back to my Grandparents house I called Taylor to tell him about it.
He laughed.
