So many things to be thankful for...

I remember last year at this time, I had a one-month old baby whose idea of a Thanksgiving dinner was a bottle full of formula. How things have changed! This year we hosted turkey day and Mimi, Papa, and Great-Grandma came down from Tewksbury to join us. Mimi was a HUGE help entertaining Connor while Mommy cooked dinner. She played with him all over the house, but he was especially interested in his toy magnets on the fridge. We also had a video conference with Grammy and Grampy in Vermont, and they got to see a small glimpse of him walking.

Connor was so patient to wait and wait and wait for his dinner to be ready. He played with minimal whining, and he was extremely patient. When dinner was finally ready, we put him in his high chair and gave him lots of yummy food. The poor guy got through five minutes of eating before his turkey coma set in and he was falling asleep as he was eating. It was too cute! All that waiting, and he fell asleep before he could even enjoy it. He took a very long nap, though, and when he woke up, was able to have some pumpkin pie. YUM!

We had a nice day with everyone, and we are so thankful for our family, friends, health, and happiness.




Mmmm.... Pumpkin pie!


Turkey really makes a guy hungry!
