Thanksgiving and Leaves

Once again, can't get it to stop underlining...anyway, here's a picture of Josh talking on the phone to his Daddy in Germany while AJ was on his trip. We really loved those times...!!!


OK, so AJ got back Thanksgiving night, but it was obviously too late to do anything "Thanksgivingy" that day, so we planned to do it on Friday. First we got up semi-early...but didn't make it out of the house till about 0830, and hit some of the sales...we got some decorative things and lights for inside and outside our house. We had fun.

Then, during Josh's nap, AJ and I got the turkey ready and started on stuff for dinner. Josh got up, after a short nap and went to "help" Daddy with the turkey grilling and raking the leaves in the backyard, which is what AJ was doing while I finished the rest of the dinner. So here are some shots from that afternoon and a couple of the dinner stuff.


AJ grilling the turkey...YUMMMM!!

OOhhhh, these leaves tickle!

That was one happy and filthy boy...he had a bath while AJ finished up the leaves before dinner.My pumpkin pie. We also had a chocolate creme pie, rolls, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy. YUM!

It tasted REALLY good!! Josh pretty much only ate dressing...but ate all his dinner a couple of nights later and got some pumpkin pie and loved it! He calls it "punky pie"...he's so cute!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...ours was a little late, but still fun!
