Happy Thanksgiving!

How was your Thanksgiving?

We had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving this year. Somehow, over the last 36 years, I've avoided hosting Thanksgiving dinner - until this year.

I don't really do meat. I'll sometimes eat chicken if it's disguised under a bunch of stuff or really processed turkey breast. Meat on the bone - ew, NO! My mom, who has always known my quirks, offered to make the turkey; Pops brought the pumpkin pie and cakies for the kids and I took care of the rest.

Taylor helped me get the table ready.

All of us. Sorry for cutting you out a little, Mom!

There's Mother!

My sweetie girl.

My cutie boy.

I love to play games and I'm so excited that Taylor is getting old enough to play, too. Mike's not a big board game kind of guy, so I took advantage of our crowd to get a game of Yahtzee going. Taylor played for the first time and got a Yahtzee on her very first turn! She beat us all that game and the next.

Just call me Yahtzee Queen!

Us.

Father, all giddy after rolling a Yahtzee.

Now, time for random pics:

The kiddos after Taylor's Thanksgiving class party. Her teacher made them all Indian shirts.

The Pear insisted on this getup to drop off "Tay-Tay" at school.

Must get some sleep now.

Until next time,

Mommy Kel
