Thanksgiving

I know I have been rather behind with the blog, but I will try desperately to keep up as this is a very busy season and much is happening here! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. It was more quiet than normal, which was a nice change of pace. We hosted dinner for Grammy, Papa, Gigi, Kerri and her boyfriend Eric. Grandma and Grandpa were in New York for a wedding and the Castor crew was celebrating with Bryan's family. While we missed those who could not join us, we enjoyed our quality time with those we were with. We were able to enjoy a new experience this year of a fried turkey! Eric came over with a marinated turkey and his fryer and we put the men to work. The turkey was incredible and I am certain we will never oven roast a turkey again! Thanks Eric! The rest of the day consisted of a lot relaxation, Hungry Hippos, football and some Wii of course! It was a great day and we were able to reflect upon how much we have to be thankful for.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving we had Grandma and Grandpa over to help us eat all the leftovers from the big day. Again the evening was wonderful and we had yet another round of Hungry Hippos.

I am so thankful for the cutest and most well behaved little turkey around!

Papa pondering his next move...pretty sure you just move the mouth and hope for the best Papa!

On our "second" Thanksgiving meal Daddy thought it would be a good idea to let Oliver try sweet potatoes...he did surprisingly well since we haven't even started cereal...I was going to try to hold him off for a while but it doesn't look like that will happen...he loves to eat!

More Hungry Hippos, we are slowly losing the marbles to this game and I can't say I will be upset when they are all gone...it is the loudest game ever!
