Happy Thanksgiving

Karsten was so excited to play with Trent and Taylor, he woke up bright and early on Thanksgiving to get started.  Since Karsten was up, Liam got up as well.  Luckily, Grandma is an early riser too, so she had some quality time with all four grandsons while the rest of us enjoyed sleeping in.  That sure is a holiday perk - we got up and around in time for the Macy's parade.  Perfect timing!

Lately, when anyone gets a kleenex, Liam sniffs his nose and says 'me, me!'.  After he wiped his nose, he carefully stuffed the kleenex in his pocket - it was too funny, I had never seen him do that before!


Gobble, Gobble - Happy Thanksgiving!


Linda and Scott were in charge of carving the turkey - it was delicious!


Jenny brought her famous stuffing as well as peas and noodles.  The peas and noodles were a tradition in Leland's family for many years and once we had them, we loved them as well and request them every year!  We've tried to replicate Jenny's stuffing here at home but it didn't turn out quite as well - we'll try again now that we know what to tweak.


Leonard helped Liam build a tower of blocks.


After dinner, the adults all relaxed while the kids played.  It's so much fun to watch Karsten play with Trent and Taylor, they're going to have so much fun together in the years to come!
