November always gives us more than enough reasons to be thankful-it starts with Brody's birthday and then we go to Aunt Betsy's, Kyra (our trusty malamute), Daddy and then Aunt Andrea. We are always hoppin'! This year Daddy didn't feel like being photographed, but we did get him an ice cream cake and tried our hand at personalizing it.
Thanksgiving Day was a little rough this year because after seven wonderful weeks of having Daddy at home every day, he had to go back to work. His first day back was Wednesday and he went to bed at 6:45...so we knew he was tired. Then he went back for more on Thanksgiving.
We made due by playing at the neighbor's house for several hours. We came home just in time to get our turkey started. The boys had so much fun playing that they never managed to take a nap. We played with the turkey guts and heart, made some mashed potatoes and set a timer so we would all remember to go and check on our turkey. Mommy even broke down and bought a new turkey baster so she could throw the one she inherited from her parents away. 
Dinner was wonderful. We had all of our favorites: turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry relish, tortellini salad and sparkling cider. It was a great meal! It's so hard to be patient and wait for Daddy to get home when the house smells so good. 
It's even harder to wait for Daddy when we get tired. Brady was so exhausted from all the fun we had in the morning that he didn't make it to see Daddy...or enjoy and of our feast. But as always we were just thankful to all be together!!
