Thanksgiving 2011

I want a clever title but none come to mind. :(

And the Thanksgiving Day magic continues.
Every year we take a family photo and nail it in one take. It is seriously unreal. We can't take any other family photo like it. Micah looks a bit nuts, but that is his per usual "look" {read: wide eyed and surprised at all times} anyway. HA!

Chad had the Wednesday before off. We mostly chilled and finished getting Christmas stuff out.

Thursday we watched some of the Macy's Parade, but the hosts on chnl 12 were weird and annoying. Then we were off to my FIL's family for a great traditional Thanksgiving meal. We had fun catching up and watching Lo and Tyler play in-door football. Those two are hilarious.

Micah did so awesome and was so happy, even staying up nearly 2 hours past his naptime! He seemed to enjoy the food especially the sweet potatoes!
The aforementioned in-door football. It was a beautiful day minus the 50+mph winds!
Tyler is so sweet with both of my kids. He can rough house it with the best of them, but then he could dial it down and rock Micah. He is just so good with babies for a 9 year old. Although I think in a year or two he and MW will be nuts! Shoot who am I kidding he and Lo are already nuts!
Friday was a crazy day of running around some more, followed by decorating the tree. {post to come}
Then on Saturday we had Thanksgiving with my MIL. Sadly I took zero pics of the day. Except the breaking of the wish bone. I won. :)

It was a great Thanksgiving weekend. We are thankful for so much and have been blessed beyond measure. We are striving to live with attitudes of gratitude seeing the blessings in the difficult times. However, we are most grateful for this year is our Micah bear and that after a long 10 months he is finally healthy and thriving.

Hope everyone had great Thanksgiving!
