Thanksgiving Day 2010

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Evie and Gavin had a great day with all of their grandparents. Nana and Grandpa Cermak came over in the morning to entertain the kids while I worked on this year's Christmas card (every year it gets a little easier to snap a good picture of the kids).

Nana and Grandpa gave Thanksgiving cards to the Evie and Gavin. The twins LOVE opening cards!

I put Evie in a dress after her nap. Here she is reading with Nana (Evie was totally into the Christmas books that we brought up from the basement. She is ready for Santa!):

After Evie woke up and we got the kids ready, we all headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Cordes' house for dinner. Evie and Nana ate some pre-dinner chips:

Me and my awesome mom:

Gavin was very busy exploring Grandpa and Grandma's house. Usually he is so focused on exploring that I can't even get him to look at me, but yesterday I got a lot of cute photos of him:

Grandma made a turkey breast instead of a whole bird. Evie was very interested in watching Grandpa carve it. Notice Gavin watching from the doorway - he was not going to get any closer to the loud electric carving knife!

Evie wasn't sure about the whole carving procedure, but she ate A LOT of turkey!




Me and my favorite little guy:




We had a wonderful day. We have so much to be thankful for, especially our truly wonderful and loving families!
