Thanksgiving Cont.

This is what Moxie did all day.



After we ate and took a walk we piled up all our pillows and couch cushions on the floor. I made popcorn and while Leland took a nap Dave, Caleb, and I watch The Polar Express. After the movie Leland woke up and we ate dessert the rolled around on the floor for a while before bed.

Thanksgiving 2008

It was just us this year, we had had a mini Thanksgiving with Grandma Mary , Jennie, Sheldon, and our newest little cutie Abigail a couple weeks ago. All day Caleb was asking me about the turkey which he mistook for a chicken a couple times, then for about an hour was asking if lunch was ready.


The turkey; I kept it pretty basic and just seasoned it with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and olive oil. We all liked it and the gravy I made with the drippings was SO good.

stuffing getting warmed up for dinner.

The boys.

Ready to eat, Leland was not happy about taking

a picture when there was food waiting to be eaten.

I made my own cranberry sauce this year with just a little orange juice and sugar simmered with the cranberries. Then gravy was REALLY good. Green beans were from the garden that we had frozen. Then stuffing was slightly different from what I would normally make since Dave refuses to eat pork I had to substitute the sausage with chicken sausage but it was still my favorite part of the meal.

Leland LOVED the cranberries and sweet

potatoes as well as the stuffing.

Getting stuffed!

More Pictures of the Boys Swinging

It was a little cold outside, about 47 degrees I think.


Giggle baby



Caleb wasn't very interested is having his picture taken
but he complied anyway.




Leland on the other hand was thrilled about everything.

A Swingin' Good Time

On Saturday we finally replaced the swing that Benoni( dog we had for a while until he drove us crazy... I mean decided he was too much for our family) destroyed. No, No we didn't destroy the dog, the dog destroyed the swing you sillys.

Anyway, so Leland tried it out, he had never been in a swing before except the little baby swing when he was a couple months old. He loved it and started laughing hysterically.
