Thanksgiving!

AND.... it is turkey time!!! Doesn't it look fantastic??? Ruth, my brother's mother-in-law was gracious enough to let us all hang out there and eat to our hearts' content on Thanksgiving day! We had a great time eating, playing games, eating desert, playing games, and just hanging out!

What a beautiful turkey! To bad I completely forgot to have some during the actual meal. :) Oops! I got to the end of my ability to place anything else in my mouth and than realized, I FORGOT to have turkey!




Sean enjoyed playing with some one's digital device. Others of us sat around, cooked, opened the much anticipated sparkling, Welch's grape juice....






What a gorgeous spread. Well... it looked better in person. Sorry about my camera skills.





Here we are playing "forgot-the-name". Sean is supposed to be the human tool with which my brother moves arms, legs, etc. in order to get his team mates to guess: changing a diaper. As one might anticipate from the below picture. Sean was not exactly comfortable with the proceedings and did not quite move correctly.

Above, and to the right is Sean's attempt while blindfolded to draw a kilt. His team guessed it. Hurrah!


Having a good time!






The day after Thanksgiving we went back over to Ren's mother-in-law's house and played more games, ate more, and even played some music together. I played a little violin but had more fun attempting to play the piano accompaniment to some cello repertoire. Ren did an awesome job, especially as he had not played since last Thanksgiving!!! Meghan loved it too. She tried to peer in the "f" holes and asked her Daddy," What's in there?" The next cute remark was her surprise at the size of Daddy's "violin." She was even more amazed at my "baby violin!"




Meghan even willingly shared her beloved Pooh sofa with Charis. When we first got to MI, Meghan was so sweet. I had to laugh. She asked me, during a diaper change, if Charis needed to borrow her "bootie cream" so that Charis would not get a "sore bum." :)



And last but not least a couple more baby pictures!!!



Hope you all everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! May God bless.

The turkey does look delicious!!! You guys sure did alot of fun things. The diaper changing pic is hilarious. It must have been awhile since you had played instruments together. Glad to know everything went well. Thanks for sharing all the great pics and the one with Charis smiling.

Looks like you had a really nice Thanksgiving. How long of a drive was it? Does Charis do well in the car for extended periods?

Yes, we did have a great Thanksgiving!!! :) Jen, Charis does do great in the car. It was a 5 1/2 hr. drive. As long as we are moving, she sleeps or looks around pretty contentedly.

I wish Greta did as well in the car as Charis does. She'll definitely sleep in the car but only for 2 hours max and once she wakes up she's ready to eat and eat now!
