My Little Turkey

My camera mostly stayed in its case during Thanksgiving. That is because we were all so overstuffed we just lounged around on the couch, trying not to fall asleep.

Henry wore the cutest little Thanksgiving outfit. On the front, it said "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble." On the bottom, there was a cute baby turkey.  I am very thankful for my little turkey. . . . and my slightly larger and definitely more mobile one, too.

Nick had a new shirt for Thanksgiving as well, but he tore it off in favor of his t-shirt about five minutes after we arrived. I'm glad I snapped a quick picture before he took it off.

My sister made this rainbow layered jello, which was very cool-looking. It was also tasty, but I am astounded at how labor-intensive it must have been to make. Each layer had to be made separately. That is what I call patience.

Henry tried mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, white jello, and even pumpkin pie. He loved all of them. I think his favorite dish was the cranberry sauce, actually.

I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving. We did.  :)

Feeding Time for Miss Lucy

It's a little hectic here tonight, between Nick throwing spaghetti at us, the torrential rains, and the delivery of our new living room set. Our whole downstairs is in disarray, since we have to move everything around and try to get the new slipcovers on. So my post tonight will be short.

Tonight, I'm going to post a quick video from yesterday, when Nick and I visited his GG (short for great-grandmother) and her puppy, Miss Lucy. Nick was fascinated by her food dishes, and he had a great time moving her food back and forth between the dish and a bucket. He thought he was being very helpful.

My grandma also introduced Nick to something new: twizzlers. We'd never given him red licorice before, but GG pulled it out while I was trying to hold Nick down to change his diaper. He quieted right down and ate the whole piece. Nick loves his GG.  :)

Oh, and here she is. . . the cutest puppy in all the land. My grandma thinks she looks silly with one ear up and one down. I think it's charming.
