for thanksgiving this year, we were with julia’s family at her aunt elaine’s house. it was a pretty solid day of the 3 F’s (family, food and football). instead of doing a full write-up of how many plates full of turkey i ate in under 15 minutes (3 – and then i was standing over the turkey picking at it and dipping pieces in the gravy that was left over) i’ll just post a few pictures from the day.
ready for turkey!
nathaniel, as always, is adorable in his dress clothes. when i was trying to take this picture, nathaniel was trying to watch ‘wow wow wubzy,’ and was getting annoyed i kept trying to get his attention.
a familiar sight
anyone who has followed this blog or has seen any of my various bbq posts knows that if there is one thing nathaniel loves, it’s ice. here he sits with his aunt jackie (mostly cut out) watching football eating a cup full of ice cubes. it’s ok, he wanted to eat more ice, so i ate his plate of turkey too.
plotting with his cousin
when his cousin brianna arrived, of course, the two little ones had to get together and figure out how they were going to destroy everything in the house. (actually, they were very good together – there was no destruction to be had)
exploring the stroller
the two of them had to do SOME exploring and they spent some time spinning wheels on her stroller. fun was had by all.
iPhone!
aunt jackie was nice enough to let them play alphababy on her iphone. nathaniel giggles a lot when he plays this game (which basically is played by tapping the screen and a new letter, color, shape or number pops up and it says what it is – but jackie recorded nathaniel shouting out what some picture are <foofa, jackie, nathaniel> and that’s when he laughs the most).
end of the day
after all was said and done, nathaniel was sure tired (though not as tired as julia and i were because we had to run around with him and don’t have the energy of a two year old anymore – especially after turkey) and got himself set up on the couch to end his day watching ‘wonder pets.’
