Thanksgiving

Cami spends so much time sitting in one chair and then scooting over to the other chair. She climbs up and stands on them and talks profusely to them. If i need her to something by herself for a few minutes, i put her by the chairs and let her have at it.
Jaely watching papa begin to get ready for thanksgiving dinner.





Grandpa played Legos with the girls. Jaely was really good at sharing her grandpa and sharing with Camryn. And, Cami is smiling right at grandpa.
Aunt Whitney and uncle Jason bought the girls gifts. One of them is a white furry coat for Camryn. She looks so adorable in it.Jaelynne got a new coat from them, too. It is so stinkin' cute. She ran back to her room with it to practice the snaps. Then, she came out and showed everyone.




The kitchen got a little crazy and dinner was a little later than we anticipated, but it was SO great to have everyone here. TJ made a traditional turkey and then he grilled on over indirect heat for three hours. It was tasty. He also made green bean casserole and a sausage apple stuffing Jered made a squash lasagna and amazing potatoes. Jason made pretzels. I made mac and cheese and a cheese ball. Aunt Carol made seafoam salad and Waldorf salad. Dad brought the over-sized Christmas presents so we wouldn't have to drive back with them at Christmas.




Jaely all of a sudden was very bothered by the leaves on the deck. In the midst of the business and all the company, she removed herself to take care of the leaves. Maybe she got a tad overwhelmed and just needed some alone time. She didn't take a rest that day either.






Jason's pretzels. Mmm, Mmm good!
Jaely and her friends completed the Chameleon puzzle.

After the meal. . . people slept (except for the girls)
Jaely brought her aunt and uncle back to her bedroom and worked on a puzzle.
Jason also played polly pockets with Jaely before her bedtime.



Good night. there is so much to be thankful about.
