Thanksgiving 2008!

This was Luigi's 1st Thanksgiving and he is 8 1/2 months old. He's already crawling, climbing stairs, pulling himself up on things and saying dadadada! Tweetsy and Mario are really starting understand why we celebrate Thanksgiving and it was fun to hear what they are thankful for and the things that they are learning about Jesus.

This year the kids and I decided that we were going to make Pumpkin Cheesecake for Thanksgiving. So, on Tuesday night we made the first two pies and then made another 2 pies on Wednesday night. One was given to my friend Leslie who left for Ohio on Wednesday morning to have Thanksgiving with her Grandma, her mom June, her sister Heidi & my brother Mike & nephew Caleb.

On Thanksgiving day we went to Grandma and Grandpa N.'s first and had a wonderful turkey dinner. Everyone was there including Great Grandma and Grandpa P, Uncle Blake and Sara, Uncle Scott, Lyndsay, Jefferey, Uncle Tom and Uncle Adam. Tweetsy and Mario were so excited that day. It's amazing the energy that they have but they keep everyone entertained! Grandma and Grandpa made a wonderful turkey dinner! This was Luigi's 1st real meal and it was so funny to watch him eat soo much food. He ate more than Tweetsy and Mario combined :)

Next we went to Ja Ja and Babcia's house for round 2! We were still pretty full so we couldn't eat as much. Tweetsy and Mario played hide-and-seek with Babcia and Ganina and played with the toys in the basement. Peter and Ja Ja spent the entire time arguing about politics :( This year our cousins weren't there to play :( It was such a long day that Mario and Tweetsy quickly fell asleep on the way home!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and continue to Thank God for the blessings that we have today for tomorrow they may not be there to be thankful for! And for those that we couldn't be with this year...We miss you very much! (More pictures to come)
