Thanksgiving

Another Thanksgiving come and gone already.  We had a very busy day this year, but it was filled with friends and family and all kinds of things to be thankful for! 

At daycare they asked all the kids - How do you cook a turkey?  Here is Lyla's recipe:

A couple weeks before the big day, Lyla asked me if we could go shopping for "a fancy dress to wear for Thanksgiving".  How can you argue with that!  So we went shopping and after 20 minutes she finally decided on a dress, then ran over to a shelf to pick out "ccessories" where I convinced her to settle for tights and hair bows.  :)   I have to admit, she did look super cute in her new outfit though!

Thanksgiving morning we left super early and headed to Fairmont to see Gary's Aunt & Uncle and his mom.  We had a very nice visit and can't wait to see everyone again on Christmas!

We left there and headed to Em's where she cooked all by herself this year!  She did a really good job!   Lyla was starving and ate about every olive Em had while we waited for dinner!

We got a lot of nice family pictures:

After dinner Lyla played video games with the boys....

When we left Em's we stopped to visit Erin and her family.  Bill taught Lyla to play poker!  lol

It was a really great day!  Then Lyla and I stayed with my parents the rest of the weekend.  Pappy of course put Lyla to work!

I have pictures to share from the last couple weeks.

We carved pumpkins this year at Em's house then went to a trick or treat at the park near her.  Her and her Auntie Em did her pumpkin togehter.

Then we had to get a picture with ALL of her trick or treating candy after her and daddy went on Halloween!

Erin and Andy came up to visit Saturday.  There is really just something so comforting about spending time with your oldest friend!  We all decided we need to have a photoshoot and set up the camera with the timer.  Lyla was in charge of how we should sit and what we should do!
