Thank-Full

And we're off...First stop...Noni and Fred's house.
Will started at the table before the rest of us.
As soon as we sat down we realized his clothes would not survive the meal
so off they went. He wouldn't wear the bib without the clothes so off it went.
Then he made us all feel guilty for gorging ourselves by running laps around
the house while we ate. He joined us after dinner and devoured a piece of pumpkin pie.
The meal was everything that you dream of all year waiting for Thanksgiving.
Thanks for cooking, Mary!

We then headed over to grandpa T. and grandma Steffi's house.
We were in food comas by that point so joined them for a
bite of this and that but mostly just visited and caught up.

Last stop was Jay and Julie's for our second meal.
The cornbread stuffing was to die for.
We were in charge of mashed potatoes...they were lumpy but edible.
My stomach is overwhelmed but I am already looking forward to next year.

Chris and I are thankful for...
Our parents...and their willingness to hang out with our kid so much.
Our sibs...who also seem to like him.
Our friends who we don't get to see as much as we'd like.
Our house...which needs some work and always keeps us busy.
My vanpool...it saves us A LOT of money each month.
Our jobs...even though we'd rather win the lottery.
Each other...we think we're pretty lucky.
Our constant source of entertainment and favorite person, our HEALTHY and HAPPY Buster!

Will is thankful for...
His Lulu, Bomp, Noni, Fred, Grandma and Grandpa T.
Da sh-ish.
Henry, Lucy and his other fun friends.
His binky and blanky.
His aunties Erin (especially), Rachel, Laurie and Katie and uncle Mike.
The zoo.
Donuts, peas, broccoli, grapes, juice, milk, cookies, dried fruit, food in general.
His bed.
Balls.
Toddler Gym and the swimming pool.
His cool parents.

And leftovers are good, too!
