a Musical Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving day we joined the Tranthams at their home for a celebration.  The kids came along with their mom and Sean and really enjoyed time with cousins.  Of particular interest to the kids was all the musical instruments that live at the Trantham home.  Wyatt particularly had a hard time not touching them. Uncle Doug took time to not only play for them but also let them help play as well. 

undivided attention

 That smile says it all, pure enjoyment.

 Both kids enjoyed their time strumming the strings as well as listening to Doug, Adam and Sara play together.  Wyatt's comment that, " man you sure are good!" summed up the entire experience for everyone.

Wyatt particularly enjoyed "sitting in" with the band as they practiced.  His favorite instrument was the fiddle

Of course, the highlight of the evening along with music and fellowship was really good food. Bayleigh certainly knew how to take advantage of all of that as well. It snowed pretty hard on the drive home but we all managed to get home safely.
