Gobble, gobble!
Thanksgiving was a four day weekend for us and we made the most of it. First was Thanksgiving dinner at Christina's house with the family. After some turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, etc. etc. etc. we watched a little football and a little Charlie Brown and settled in for the evening.
Baby's first Thanksgiving
I watched Bodhi and Kira that night while Jen went shopping with her sister. The sales started early this year so they wanted to get a head start. It took a while to get the kids to wind down but at least they were both asleep by the time the girls got back.
Double-decker birthday cake!
The next day was another day with the kids for me as Jen had to go to work. I spent most of it cleaning because I knew that Saturday was going to be busy again. We had a friend's birthday party to attend. It was a double party for two little girls. So off I went with both kids to see what kind of damage we could do.
Wait... who thought giving him a bat was a good idea?
The birthday party had two cakes, a giant bounce house with a slide and two piñatas. Some of the kids were a little iffy about the piñatas but Bodhi thought it was great fun. He would swing the bat as hard as he could and say "Hi-ya!" when it would connect. Once they broke open the piñata a little chaos ensued in the mad dash for candy. Bodhi had a great time and didn't want to leave, but we had to get back home for dinner.

It was nice to get back home and spend a relaxing Sunday with the family after all the excitement from the previous three days. We spent it playing and cleaning and goofing around. It was a very fun, but long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
