Now that Lily is almost 3, she decided she doesn't want to take naps anymore. However, we're thankful she plays by herself in her room while Cade sleeps. On this particular day I noticed how quiet it was and this is what I found... Lils sound asleep on the window seat!
Awake again! Time to play!

We began the day with the second annual 8a.m. 4 mile race known as the Turkey Trot!
then at 10 the guys got together to play a little American football while the moms and kids cheered
and snacked on prunes
and bananas

the tough guys (1st 5 are Americans, last 2 are Australians)
They all played great!
Time to head out for Thanksgiving dinner!
This hasn't happened for quite a while!
We celebrated with 3 other families and a handful of friends. Everyone brought a dish or two (including 2 turkeys!) and it was all SO DELICIOUS! I baked some bread and brought that yummy sweet potato casserole that should actually be on the dessert table.
The next day our close friends celebrated Thanksgiving together with breakfast... omelets, french toast and a fruit bowl as we watched the Packer victory!
Again, we had time for songs and sharing the many things we're thankful for.
