Happy Thanksgiving 2011!

The signs that Thanksgiving has passed in our house include....
-lots of yummy turkey left in the fridge
-plenty of extra side dishes to eat for the next few days
-the china has been used and put back away
-and, most importantly, I can put up Christmas lights outside

Getting Tom the Turkey prepped the night before (eeewwww...)
Thanksgiving morning- turkey-shaped pancakes.

We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with a stuffing cook-off between Gram and Paul... Paul tried to bribe the guests to vote for his. Both Kaitlyn and Paul picked the legs for their dinner...and ate most of them!

Several attempts to get a picture of the kids...

Mmmm..... dessert time!

Opening new Christmas PJ's from Gram and BB:

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Thanksgiving this evening with Gram, BB, Aunt Char and Uncle Charles (who are now official New Oxford, PA, residents!)- it was a very nice Thanksgiving and we send our love to all of our family and friends as well!

200 Post - Happy Thanksgiving

We started this blog on Sunday April 8, 2007 and now 200 posts later it is still going strong. We traveled to NJ to visit with Nana and Pop Pop during this holiday. Paul has learned a few new words on the trip so far including the words to the song "To grandmothers house we go" as well as "Pancake house" We enjoyed a great thanksgiving dinner with Aunt Mary Ellen and Uncle Bill and our cousins Will and Katherine.

Uncle Chris came over this morning and gave Paul III his birthday gift since he couldn't make the birthday party. As you can see Paul III loved it and has already started moving blocks with the battery operated "bucket".

Yes that is a blob of ice cream in Paul III's left hand eating dessert on thanksgiving night.

A family photo after dinner last night.

Paul was playing with a back massager and got a real kick out of everyone watching him.

Playing with legos with Aunt Katherine and Nana.

Pop Pop eating a "thumper" with Uncle Bill looking on.

Loving Uncle Chris.

Thanksgiving at the Bennetts

Tonight we had dinner at Gram and BB's house for an early thanksgiving. Earlier in the day we had a good time working in the yard digging up dirt and planting some mums out back. In the last picture you can see Paul III trying to "smile".

Thanksgiving, Take One

We all went to Gram and Grandad BB's house for Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday night. Little Paul even got to have a sleepover- Gram even made him a special breakfast with some eggs.
