Too much turkey...I'm sleepy...

The day of gluttony is over (hey, I only had three pieces of pie!). But seriously, we had a very nice Thanksgiving. As we were eating, we all talked about what we are thankful for. Ethan even wrote down a list earlier in the day (all in big block letters HOME, FAMILY, RUTH HERE - I'm putting this cute list in the scrapbook). I didn't even stress out once during the day of making an entire Thanksgiving dinner, which if you know me very well, it is an amazing feat! However, there was one time that I was feeling ornery. Here was our menu: turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed cauliflower and peas, rolls, cranberry sauce, jello and Cool Whip, lemonade made from scratch, Sprite, lemon meringue pie, and peanut butter pie. Here is what Aidan ate: four bites of jello, with the Cool Whip scraped off. And a piece of peanut butter pie. I couldn't beg him, threaten him, or cajole him to eat even one bite of ANYTHING else. I could have made sourdough pancakes and he would have been happy. The life of a two year old.After dinner picture. Aidan wasn't even at the table by now. Christian carving the turkey!

Ethan colored, cut, and glued a cornucopia together all by himself. What a great idea, Ruth!

When I was cleaning the kitchen after dinner, Aidan called out, "Mommy, come here!!" I went in his room to find this - he had climbed up on top of the plastic dresser in his closet, on top of his stool, and was trying to reach the guitar up in the top of his closet. When I got it down, he jumped down, said, "Cool dude!" (must be because of the sunglasses), and started playing the guitar while singing, "Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads. Fish heads, fish heads, eat 'em up, YUM!" I tried to get video, but it didn't work. Bummer!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Let the Christmas music BEGIN!
