Turkey 2010




The 4 Turkey's with Gram or Grandpa. The biggest one of all happens to be showing you her underpants (yep, BIG girl underpants, that deserves a post of it's own...), she also happens to be mine.

We had a great long weekend in the crisp fall Arizona desert. We ate dinner out, which I advocate as the best way of all to eat Thanksgiving dinner. I don't care if I ever spend 10 hours over a stove on the blessed holiday in my life. We also made Gingerbread houses, ate Gingerbread houses, played with cousins, told Tessa to quick tormenting her cousins, mostly the Bexinator, tried to remain cool and collected when T threw butter knives at breakfast and Bex threw waffles over his shoulder, went hiking, went horseback riding, relaxed, tried our luck at hot air ballooning (well others did, they didn't let the fat lady), took naps, took two cars in for repairs (trying to look at the glass half full that it happened in PHX and not in the middle of the desert), washed crayon off walls, showed off new Christmas dresses from Gram (that HAD to be worn today!) rewrapped presents opened by curious hands and watched movies. All the makings of a great Holiday weekend.


Yep, my kid is eating broccoli!

Looks perfect. I love the pic of all the kids in the bed. And yes a post is needed about Tessa being potty trained...not that I would expect anything less than that from Tessa who is super duper smart.
