Giving Thanks

So I think Thanksgiving is officially my favorite holiday! What more could a chubby kid like me ask for? A whole day devoted to eating? Perfect. Although Christmas sounds pretty awesome too. I had such a fun weekend with my cousins. The day before the big turkey day we went to the Children's museum. That place is so fun!

Here is Uncle Jon Van Gough. Clearly he is very talented!

Obviously Uncle Jon's offspring! My Cousin's Curran and Luke show their inner Jackson Pollock's while painting the VW Bug. Hopefully they will let me in on the action some day.

Cousin Corrie took me for a ride on the pulley seat. I think Aunt Lou Ann was the muscle behind this...too bad she isn't pictured, or you would see her rippling biceps!

Cousin Jamie dressed me up like a girl...headband and all. I think I look good in pink--don't you?





The next day (well for 2 days actually) Mom, Aunt Shalaine, and Aunt Lou Ann were cooking our Thanksgiving feast. It all started with a delicious blueberry buckle and hot chocolate for breakfast. That was just to wet our appetites for the feast to come. Mom made Nana's stuffing and orange rolls (I couldn't tell you if they were exactly the same as Nana's because I have never had the original...but they were good to me), Paga took care of the turkey, Aunt Lou Ann made mashed potatoes from scratch, and Aunt Shalaine made the tastiest green bean casserole and carrots. It was a feast to end all feasts! I won't mention that my Thanksgiving ended in tears (clearly I needed a nap) but a little chocolate pie helped to finish me off. I can't wait until next year.
