Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!  Our turkey day was fab.u.lous!  

We went up to Gram's house to celebrate this 'lil Butterball's first Thanksgiving...

I know, could you just die from the cuteness?!?

...and this big guy's fourth Thanksgiving (which, just in case you're bored, you can read about here, here, and here)

Can we please just have a moment of silence for "Happy Gangs-giving?"  Caden is now so big that he says it the right way this year.  Sob!

They were both moving too quickly for me to get a picture of them together, so these individual ones are the best I have to offer.  Maybe I'll reenact Thanksgiving later this week :)

Our celebrations actually started a few days early.  On Tuesday my friend, April (and her 10 week old sweetie, Maxime) dropped off our annual Thanksgiving chocolate turkeys

We told Caden that he could eat his IF he found the one with his name on it.  

Success!

On Wednesday evening, JZ and CP went up to Gram's house for a sleepover and to help her "cook tu-key and cookies."  JZ used to do that when he was a kiddo and he was super excited to get to take Caden this year.  They both had a ton of fun and *I'm sure* were super helpful to Gram!

In the morning they watched the Macy's Day Parade  - which was amazing because there were Spiderman, Charlie Brown AND Buzz balloons.  Wow.

Asher and I stayed home and then joined everyone after his morning nap.  Just like a terrible mom and blogger, I did not get any pictures of the food, tables, or people, but trust me it was awesome.  I somehow got out of cooking and cleaning (note to self - have a baby who "needs" you every year!).  We had 20 people at our tables and it was such a fun time!  We ate (and ate and ate...), the boys watched football, the girls made crafts, and the littles played with trucks...

...and video games.

Sorry for the awful cell phone pictures, JZ needs and upgrade!

This fall hasn't been the easiest season of our lives, but we still have so much to be thankful for!  We're healthy, have two beautiful boys, and are surrounded by such GOOD people.  After all of the turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and pie, we weren't just full, we were fulfilled!

Happy Thanksgiving!
