Thanksgiving Part One

We love Thanksgiving and look forward to it all year, and this year did not disappoint! We were lucky enough to have Matt's brother John come visit and we got to celebrate with Dan and Ashley, and Dan's brother Matt and his wife April. We had so much delicious food, I think I ate about ten rolls at dinner alone!! This is a picture of Olivia during Thanksgiving dinner. A while back we loaned some of our baby stuff to Dan and Ashley for baby Cal and I swear Olivia remembers that it was hers. She always wants to sit in the baby swing, or she helps herself to the bouncer. She is so funny, so it being a holiday and all we had to stick her in the swing....she is enormous!!!!
Our Thanksgiving dinner was so yummy and we ate it up so fast we don't have any pictures of it, just this delcious carmel pumpkin cheesecake Ashley made.
Here we are in the kitchen after dinner with the turkey carcass. We had such a fun time stuffing ourselves, and hanging out with family and friends, and were so grateful to have John here visiting. After dinner we wached the movie Elf. Maddie had never seen it before, so it was really funny to watch her reactions. She was really enjoying it until the end when Santa's sleigh crashes in the park. She about died, and so did I watching her! She sat up on the couch and started screaming "Oh no, oh no, oh no, Santa's sleigh oh no, oh no"! It was hysterical, she was practically crying. She is such a tender little thing, and we love her!
