Thornburg Family Get-Together

Last weekend, we drove up to Syracuse to see a significant portion of the Thornburg family.  It was great! Andrew's aunt flew in from Colorado.  Andrew's uncle and aunt came down from Michigan. We all met at the Channel Marker for dinner to gather and celebrate. We had an awesome reason to celebrate... 
 Andrew's sister Erin and Doug got engaged! Hooray! We are so happy for these two!

I totally bogarted these pictures from Facebook, obviously.  Sorry, Erin. :) Hope you don't mind! But CONGRATS!! :) 

 So we gathered at the restaurant to eat, drink and be merry.
Tommy met some of these family members for the first time!

He loved playing with his cousins (second cousins? twice removed, once over easy cousins? No clue).

 We took some family pictures by the lake.

 Here are all the siblings together.  Tommy's Pop, John, Jenny and Jill

 Here's Gram, Pop and Tommy who's not too sure about getting his picture taken.

This one is a little better.

Here's the only Thornburg immediate family pic (along with Eli) for which we obviously were not ready.

Tommy loves boats so he led dada onto the pier and tried to get on some stranger's boat.  He knows what he wants I guess. :)

 After dinner, we went to Jenny's house to play and have dessert.  Tommy was thrilled with Pop pushing him around on the trike.

 Then Pop pushed Tommy on the swing...

 Then he pushed him on another swing! I bet Pop was tired!

We finally convinced Tommy to come inside. Aunt Jenny bought his favorite, veggie chips, so he munched on those.  

 MORE VEGGIE CHIPS, PLEASE!!

 Aww, sweet moment with Gram.

Then it was time to play Cookie Cop with Lydia.

Tommy had such a great time seeing family this weekend.  We were so glad we were able to make it to see everyone.  Especially when we have something so exciting to celebrate.  Congrats again to Erin and Doug!
