Gobble Gobble

I'm a little late with this post, but somehow the time got away from me. We had a fantastic Thanksgiving last week with Eric's parents. It was so fun to see Piper and Fletch enjoy their turkey dinner. Here is a photo recap.

The day started with a trip to Giant for some pie. Fletch and Piper loved riding in the Cozy Coupe cart for the first time.

We then went home and took naps. While the babies were taking their second nap, Eric's parents came home with the Thanksgiving dinner (let me tell you, not much is better than when people show up at your door with hot, delicious food).

Here is Eric's dad carving the turkey.


Here is Eric's mom with her mouth-water stuffing and sweet potatoes.


And here is my contribution to the dinner--keeping the babies occupied while preparations were underway. 


Just a few minutes later, dinner began. Fletch couldn't get enough yummy food.



Neither could Piper.


I was also pretty stuffed after the meal.


Fletch eventually decided he was done and started throwing food off his tray, which worked out terrific for Cider. 


Piper also had enough and threw up her hands and declared, "No more yumminess!"


She then went into a food coma.


After recovering from their food coma, Piper and Fletch got some good playtime to work off all that food with Grandma, after which they promptly went to bed and slept late that next morning. Must have been all that tryptophan.


That petty much sums up Thanksgiving. However, what would T-day be without shopping on Black Friday. Early the next morning, we woke the babies to go to the mall. We were there by 7am. 


There weren't that many great deals to be had at the mall, but it was nice to be there before it got crowded because that meant the play area was empty. Piper and Fletch had it essentially to themselves. 

Here are Piper and me in our matching outfits (not planned).


And Fletch checking out the climbing equipment.


After all that eating, shopping, and playing, we went home and had a relaxing weekend. What a great holiday!?!
