Thanksgiving... 2011

Jeremiah trying turkey!

 We had a great time with family and friends for Thanksgiving!  It was so nice again for the second year in a row to not have to travel a long distance- instead we just drove 20 minutes to Grandpa & Grandma Lyons home!  We had lots of family to visit with and ate lots of food- we had something like 12 different pies- that is crazy!  Jeremiah had his first taste of turkey which he spit right back out.  :)

The boys playing together- "sharing" toys right! 

 Halfway through the day, I decided Jonathan and Jeremiah needed some excitement!  I gave them both rides on a little wagon which they LOVED!  :)  Jonathan instinctively held to the rope but Jeremiah was too trusting and went hands free.

Please no pictures please, I am embarrassed by my Mohawk!

 When Michael was bored on Thanksgiving, guess what he decided to do to the little man- poor guy! 

 Overall, it was a great weekend with food and fun!  Saturday night we gathered just with the Lyons' family for pizza and Cars 2 movie night!

 And we were able to do our traditional Black Friday shopping- though it was a bit challenging with a little one now!  So as soon as Jeremiah woke up at 7am after feeding, we headed out for a little bit, at least until naptime!  :)  Look at that happy shopper!  We are so grateful for this time of Thanksgiving to thank the Lord for all the many blessings He has given to us!  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

He can't wait to hit the stores! 

Yeah!  We got a good deal!!!!
