It's hard to take pictures during holidays....but I have a few that will help show what we did for Thanksgiving this year:
Thanksgiving Football (thanks to Bill for planning!) in which I won an award for being Most Enthusiastic. Thinking back to my college flag-football days when I was once called for unnecessary roughness, I think I'm moving in a good direction ;)
April's first Thanksgiving! I packed green-beans, squash, and pears for her to eat....which isn't quite the same as green-bean casserole, sweet potatoes, and apple pie but I don't think she minded!
The day after Thanksgiving we headed to my mom's house. My sister, mom, and I made candy (with some help from Chloe) and the guys practiced shooting clay-pigeons. They were gone for a really long time and we had 3 adults vs. 3 kids (two and under!) at home, but we somehow managed to have our most successful year of candy-making without them ;) Chloe couldn't keep out of the powdered sugar. She was addicted.
This little girl was a peach all day and liked playing tunes on the piano...
and at the end of the day we had this:
Then we got in the car when it was dark to drive to Kevin's grandparents....which meant that Chloe talked for the entire. car. ride. My candy-making-brain could hardly take any more and then we arrived! Chloe celebrated by dancing with her baby doll.
I celebrated by getting my picture taken with this sweet girl:
Chloe and April were the only kiddos and during Chloe's nap, April had her moment to shine with all the adults. She was loving the attention and just smiled and smiled. At some point she also took both her socks off :)
We had a lot of fun, and Poppop had the bright idea that we should all get together again at the end of December. I think we'll take him up on the offer :)
