Our Thanksgiving

We spent our Thanksgiving with my family this year -- which is pretty much how we do it every year. Elise is modeling a cupcake hat the my mom was making while her Aunt Gina was holding her. When it's complete, it will have a cherry on top and sprinkles all over it.

This is my nephew, William. Fill in the blanks: "All I want for Christmas is ___ ___ _____ ______ !"

Poor Ava turned out to be sick - again! Aunt Kelly was holding her this time and Aunt Liz spent a lot of time snuggling her too. Aren't they lucky to have so many aunts?
Before my camera battery died and it turned out that my spare battery didn't go with my camera (drrrr!!!), I took a picture of our "thankful" turkey. People were thankful for a variety of things. Most people in my family are comedians so we had a very "colorful" turkey in deed.
We ended the night a little early so we could take Ava home and put her to bed.

We also got up early and did some shopping Friday morning - in shifts. Chris got up early for Walmart and Target, then I headed out to Michael's and Kohl's. We found several things we've been wanting and got almost all of our gift shopping done, especially for the girls.
