Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving 2012 was a laid back, fun day at Mamie and Grandpa's house with Mamie, Grandpa, Robin and Chris, and of course Koko (Mamie and Grandpa's dog), and Eddie, (Chris' 6 month old Great Pyrenees). We all had a good time, and miraculously, all of the babies slept while we ate, which made for a peaceful lunch. It made me realize how few "peaceful" meals I've had lately and I almost didn't know what to do with myself.

I think everyone had a great time just spending the day together. Even if we didn't have great food, we were together, and it's one of those days I'd relive over and over again if I could.

Helping Claire practice with a sippy cup.

Adam found an oven mit that looked to him like a "dinosaur mouth" and went on the attack. Grand Pe Pa was the main target.

Chris was napping and Adam for a long time gave him reprieve from the dinosaur attacks, but finally couldn't resist and got him ...






It started to sprinkle and a rainbow came out so he went outside with Ra Ra to play in the rain and look at the rainbow.



 
Soaked. Good thing it was a warm-ish Thanksgiving.

He was finally convinced to come inside and look at Mamie's tree...
