Thanksgiving 2009

We all had a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for this year, including wonderful family, great friends, and our health.

We started our Thanksgiving day celebration by watching Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Evan was interested in the parade this year and watched it for a little while. He really liked the singing and dancing. Afterwards, we went to eat lunch with Carl's family. Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed spending time with everyone. Sadly, Teddy could not make it to lunch this year, since he was at home with a broken neck.

After a nap, we headed over to my mom and dad's house for another meal.It was great to see my extended family. Evan loved playing with all of the kids. Unfortunately, Evan must still have been sick, although he seemed well. He passed his germs to many people who got quite. We felt HORRIBLE for that!

Later that night, as is our tradition, we decorated the Christmas tree. Evan got to help a lot this year. He enjoyed putting on the ornaments on the tree. (Evan LOVES the tree this year. He even kisses it goodnight each night! He also loves the train we bought for the tree this year. He loves to watch it go around the tree each night.)

Here is Evan eating one of the VERY few bites of food he ate on Thanksgiving.



Here are pictures of what Evan did instead of eating! He also played on the playground with Daddy and Bonnie Mom, despite the fact that it was VERY cold outside.







Hanging our stockings!



Having fun decorating the tree!











Here we are in front of the completed tree. (I had to tickle Evan to get him to smile!)



Our home is ready for Christmas too!
