Thanksgiving 2011

We had a very nice Thanksgiving this year, until that evening when we all came down with the flu (expect Max). My mom joined us this year which was wonderful. We woke up and had our traditional "special breakfast" (cinnamon rolls) then decorated the Christmas tree. Jason and I managed to squeeze in a pre-feast work out at the gym too. That evening after naps, we went over to the Helbling's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious. The kids had a fun time playing together and with Charlie the dog :-)All was wonderful until about 10:45pm when Alia woke up sick. Then it was rough going for all of us for a solid two days.

Yay for matching Christmas pajamas on Thanksgiving morning .... mommy's favorite!

Max enjoyed helping decorate the tree this year. He was very good about getting ornaments out and walking over to the tree, but not so great about leaving them there!

Alia was an expert decorator this year!

A random funny moment from the day ... My mom and I got out the old infant car seat for Max to play with because he is currently obsessed with buckles, however things got interesting when both kids tried to play with it at the same time!
