Happy Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, we always go to Dan's Uncle Mark's house in NJ. Here is Uncle Mark and Aunt Linda with Joy, Chris, and Josiah
The crazy kitchen. Aunt Linda always prepares a beautiful feast
Cousins. Dave, Kevin, and Dan
This is Dan's grandmother who lives in Washington state. She flew in for the special day.

Emilia really enjoyed seeing all of her cousins
As you can tell, Danny really enjoyed all the affection
Count 'em... Three diaper changes at once
Turkey induced coma

Fun with Hats

All of the cousins enjoyed playing with James and Emilia's toys. The hats were a huge hit.
I love that serious face
Firefighter Micah to the rescue
It's hard to fight a fire if you can't see where you are going

Beautiful piano duet

Micah and Danny were entertaining us with lovely Christmas carol duets on the piano
That's the face of a child prodigy if I've ever seen one

We found Danny in the corner of the kitchen trying to eat these potatoes (no kidding) perhaps he was trying to tell us something

No pants dance

Somehow, at the end of every function we attend Danny ends up running around without pants on.

I love those chubby legs
I'm not sure if this picture is of a fall, or if Danny is laying on the ground in silent protest of not wanting his PJ pants on. Either option is highly possible.

Snuggle with Uncle Doug

Doug stayed with us Thur. night after Thanksgiving. He and Danny were both very tired from the long drive.
Danny is really teething too
So cute

Friday Dinner

First, let me say that tripod pictures are the worst.

Friday after Thanksgiving we had some friends over for dinner. Val and Tim were in from Texas and it was so nice to see everyone. In the picture we have Steph, Jess Evans, Val, Beth, Dan, Tim, and Mike. It was a great night.
