Haven tried again (unsuccessfully) to take a decent nap. 
Eventually, the Legos got a little boring. Elijah decided to spice things up a bit by playing the drums...
Rachel, Jason, Reagan, & Gideon arrived! {Please note Eric's mid-winter outfit. Seriously, it can get to be an inferno in there.}
Michael, Maggie, & in-utero Jonah arrived! 
Reagan had the important task of pushing Gideon; Elijah continued to guide Grandpa.
We all made it to the dining room for a special Thanksgiving meal. 
Gideon took a little nap on the dining room floor. Haven was jealous, but continued to eat.
Joe, Ab, and Bella made the big announcement that Baby #2 was on his way!!!
Aunt Lisa also surprised us all - even the kiddos - with Ham Fam 2009 shirts! Then we had a little sing-a-long, Thanksgiving style.
Elijah sang his own song for Gigi and Great-Grandpa.Doesn't Ab look so pretty here, experimenting with her new camera?
After the dining festivities we headed downstairs for a series of lectures put together by Dad and Uncle Tom. The kids were all very good - coloring, crawling, sleeping, and playing. 
The lectures served to prepare us for our next stop: Gettysburg! We all signed the back of this framed Gettysburg map. This, the grand prize of the trip, now belongs to Michael & Maggie.
Grandma & Grandpa with all the great-grandchildren:
Elijah Millard, Millard Filmore, Elizabeth Jean, and Haven Elizabeth:
My two very loved Millards:
We sadly said our goodbye's to sweet Grandma and Grandpa and headed to Gettysburg.
