Turkey Day '07

Isn’t Thanksgiving the best holiday ever? You get to relax, enjoy family, and eat lots of good food!! Yeah, not so much on the relaxing part or the eating part when you are cooking and chasing two little kids around, but we had a blast. And yes, I DID cook this year!! A lot, I am proud to say. In fact, I cooked until 4am the night before! This Thanksgiving was spent at my mom and dad’s house with my brothers and their families. It was low key and fun. There is never a dull moment at my parent’s house!!! Border line crazy….:). Gotta love it! Marley in outfit #1.
This is the ONLY picture you will see of me and I hesitate even posting it because of my nice left eye. I ALWAYS have the worst holiday pictures. I’m either 8 months pregnant, have the flu, or recovering from an appendectomy or a knee surgery. It’s almost a joke. This year I was greeted by PINK EYE!! Yeah, at least I wasn’t contagious by Thanksgiving Day. I might add that once the pink eye was gone it one eye, I woke up with it in the other, THE DAY BEFORE I HAD SCHEDULED FAMILY PICTURES!!! That’s a whole other story though. Bottom line, DON’T ZOOM THIS PICTURE!!!!
You zoomed it, didn't ya?
Oh, I take that back. I WILL do one more picture with me in it…only because this is the only group shot we have of this entire weekend. Marley’s in outfit #2 already.

My little bro, Denver, lighting the dinner candles. Sorry, Denver, this is the only picture I had of you and didn’t want you to feel left out:).
Darryn and his beautiful wife, Alexa, who also happens to be Kristen’s (G-mo’s wife) sister…we keep it in the family…

The best Mom and Dad ever!!
Kristen and sweet lil Brooklynn…
Mar Mar is such a girlie girl. She loved that the napkin rings doubled as bracelets. She was getting ticked that she couldn’t get ‘em on fast enough….
Break time…taking a bite of a roll before she tackled the napkin rings from the other side of the table.
Matix getting psyched to eat his “turkey, pumpkin pie, and tomatoes”. Tomatoes??? Sure, whatever. But, that’s all he talked about for days leading up to Thanksgiving.
Matix and his best buddy…
His favorite part! He didn’t like the pie so much, but that whip cream…mmmm…he LOVED it!! He kept asking for pumpkin pie just so he could lick off the whip cream.
Tate slept through most of dinner. He is so dang cute when he first wakes up. Aww….
Typical girl…Marley went back for a late night snack and wanted to veg. We were laughing at how incredibly ladylike she is in this picture..NOT. Outfit #3. AKA PJ’s.

Like father, like son. As I was getting set to take another picture of Marley on her chair, Tate jumps in front of the camera from out of nowhere yelling “CHEEEETH!!!!” with his adorable little lisp. Such a G-mo thing to do…always trying to get in every picture that is being taken. Tate had us cracking up.
And, the picture I was trying to get of Marley before Tate hopped in:). She loves that TIME OUT chair that Noey (my mom)has. Hey, I don’t blame her….
