A Day of Thanksgiving...

What a great day it was...lots of food, lots of family (though we were short several members this year). Mom and I cooked a day early which made the morning of Turkey Day much smoother with more time to sit and visit before stuffing ourselves. We had our first of the day get-together with my family at mom and dads with Aves grandparents, great-grannies, great-aunties and uncle and a second cousin with her boyfriend too. Then we usually head to Iraan, however; this year the Iraan bunch came to us, including little two week old Cayla. Again, this made for an even more relaxed holiday...no driving, no traffic, no hoping Avery will fall alseep between this time and that...like I said, much more relaxed. David's family came to our house for a late afternoon stuff-fest just in time for the guys to watch the game. On this side, we were joined by Aves grandparents, great-grandparents, aunt, unlce and new baby cousin. Aves is no longer the only center of attention, but she handles it well.

What a great day to be thankful for!

The men talking it over...Not sure what, though, based on Davids' face.Mom did not burn the marshmellow topping, yah mom!

Standing a little too close to the desserts, I see...

Bye-bye Nani and Dops, on to the next house...

Welcome Great Granny and Peepaw!

Ash and baby cousin Cayla...her turkey shirt said, "I'm stuffed." So cute!

Hoping that's a yawn...Avery trying to make Cayla "beep" her nose.

Another delicious meal and great company...except, who's missing?...
Oh yes, there he is...oh well, the game was on, haha.
