The Leaf Nazi Strikes AGAIN!!!

My mom, Nana, HATES leaves being on the ground! It has actually grown quite comical over the years - even though my parents have cut down a lot of trees that were in their yard, their neighbors have HUGE trees and don't feel the same way about leaf clean up that Nana does! So, before Bryan and Alyssa headed back to Memphis, we all headed over to Nana and Papa's house to help in the clean up!

Here is the "general" as Papa has dubbed her! :) A.K.A. NANA!!!
All 5 cousins helped out too!!! Uncle Steve, in the red appears to be doing the majority of the work though! :)
They helped a bit, but then had some major fun! I love Alyssa's face in this pic!
Henry enjoyed his first leaf pile! :)
We had to capture some shots of the kids...thank goodness they were game and didn't complain!
When they were getting a bit fussy, we let them lay down in the leaves - you would have thought we bought them tickets to Disneyworld!!! They were thrilled!!!
Notice all the work Dan did!!!
Once the leaves were all cleaned up - Nana was thrilled! Check out this "after" picture!
The kids all got a treat too for their hard work - who doesn't love an ice cream sandwich? Even Henry got one - and got to eat it while sitting on Papa's lap in the back of Nana's car! :)
When looking at these pictures I'm so thankful that I have such a great family and one that can have a fun time doing almost anything - even raking tons of leaves!!!
