Thanksgiving

What a beautiful COLD day for Thanksgiving!















John's sister, Janet, and her family hosted a family feast at their house. The photo of Mt. Hood was taken from their backyard. John's mom and dad teamed up to help carve the delicious BBQ'd turkey.






















I was a little unsure of how Nick was going to do at dinner. We had 12 people for dinner (7 adults and 5 kids) ... so, Nick got to sit at the "kid's table" for the first time. Nick was easily distracted, but overall did a pretty good job. His cousins took good care of him. Except for Nick's disdain of mashed potatoes, he even managed to eat everything else, with a LOT of encouragement and getting up/down by Mom :-)

After dinner, we all enjoyed the pumpkin pies the John's parents made. Nick was very excited about the pumpkin pies for some reason. He kept asking for them after dinner, making sure to add "with whipped cream" ... of course! The funny part was that this was Nick's 1st pumpkin pie.

So, how did he like it?

Nick decided he liked the crust . . . he LOVED the whipped cream . . . but, he didn't like the actual "pumpkin" part of the pie. Hmmm, is this MY kid ???

But, no matter what, he guarded that piece of pie whenever anyone came near, including his cousins!
