Happy Thanksgiving 2012

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the McDonald family at Grandma's house. Aunt Leigh and Uncle Frank drove down from Alabama and visited for a few days. It was a great holiday and Lily's first Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for! Noah decided to dress up as a pilgrim for the day.

The weather was perfect and we got to enjoy dinner outside at Grandma's house.

Lily enjoyed hanging outside and watching the big kids (and maybe some adults) play baseball and kickball all afternoon!

Aunt Leigh got plenty of quality time with Lily.

Thanks Grandma and Papa for hosting us!

Thanksgiving 2009

We drove up to Virginia last Wednesday to spend the Thanksgiving with Mom's family. Aunt Shelley and Uncle Mike hosted their first Thanksgiving dinner and they did an excellent job. Aunt Shelley decorated her house beautifully and even had a special kids table with crafts, place cards and pilgrim hats!







After dinner, all of the kids jumped on the trampoline and the adults played corn hole. It was a great afternoon and we enjoyed catching up with our family.





We have so much to be thankful for!

Thankful

Today we went to Noah's Thanksgiving celebration at preschool. He was so proud of his pilgrim hat and he sang his class song so well! It was funny to watch him search the crowd for us and to watch his eyes light up when he finally spotted us. He was even more excited when he saw that Noushin, Uncle Alex, Grandma and Grandma's friend Penny were there to watch him too. Noah loves going to school and we have so much to be thankful for!

Turkey Day Travels

We went up to Virginia last week to enjoy Thanksgiving with family. It was Jude's first time flying and both boys were great on the flight up. Noah and Jude enjoyed their stay at Jack & Emma's house - even though most of us were plagued by a 24 hour stomach bug while we were there! Jude managed to not get sick UNTIL our turbulent flight home. First it was down mom's back and then down mom's front - UGH! Of course we had a change of clothes for Jude in the diaper bag, but not one for Mom! Overall it was a great trip and we enjoyed spending time with our family and friends.

Visitors

We were lucky enough to have visitors for the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Shawn, Regina, Jack and Emma came down to see baby Jude and celebrate Thanksgiving with us. We had a great day and enjoyed dinner with Lois and Don. Noah loved playing with his cousins and was so excited that they were here he did not go to bed until midnight the first night! Luckily, he has been managing earlier bedtimes since then. Jude has been sleeping two 4 hour stretches the past 2 nights- hopefully he will keep it up!
We are scheduled to have his hearing re-evaluated Thursday afternoon. We will keep everyone updated with the results.
