Thankful!

3 Months!
It's been three months since we brought our little guy home! What a blessing he is to our family. We are so thankful to have him home with us. He is full of energy: climbing, running, and getting into everything. The big news is that he says "Mama" now. He seems to be a little more attached to me the last week or so. He has slept through the night for a little over a week and it has been wonderful.


We had five families for Thanksgiving this year. We have been getting together for the last five years. Since one family offered to make the turkey, Harvey decided to make a capon (a castrated rooster). It sounds more appetizing when you just tell people it's chicken. It was delicious nonetheless.

Align Center Thanks to my MIL, we had fancy butter! They went for the head first of course.






This is Tom our special turkey for the kids. After dinner we carve up Tom and all of the kids get a cup of popcorn.



Enjoying Tom


Enjoying the cups


Enjoying Thankgiving



What's Thankgiving without the helmet?







When I asked Ryan what he was thankful for he said, "Jesus being in our hearts." He gets Thanksgiving!

I THINK WE SHOULD ADD SOME LITTLE BUTTER 'EGGS' TO COMPLETE THE PICTURE. THEY SHOULD BE BIG ENOUGH FOR A SERVING SINCE NO ONE WANTS TO CUT THE CHICKENS HEAD OFF!
I TOOK ONE TO GRIGSBYS AND SHE ALREADY HAD A PLAIN ORDINARY CUBE ON THE TABLE. SHE LOVED THE CHICKEN BUT THE OTHER GUESTS DIDN'T WANT TO CUT INTO IT.....oh well!!!!
