Thanksgiving 2010

I'm slowly getting caught up....only one month to go! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year at my sister's house in Charleston. My parents and I all met up at Debbie & Chad's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and stayed through Sunday. It was super fun as always and we ate our weight in food and desserts. Sweets is one thing that will never be missing from our dinner table! We are all so blessed and have many things to be thankful for...especially that we were all able to be together!

The night before we left were pictures at church for the directory....here's a picture of Claire in her pretty smocked dress before we went!

Wednesday night we arrive, and the fun begins...
Heather: "Well Chad, it's because blah blah blah.......what I'm saying is blah blah blah"
Chad: "Is it Sunday yet?"

Thursday while dinner was cooking, the kids enjoyed playing outside. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and a great day for pictures! That was WONDERFUL....b/c we are in LOVE with our new camera!

Grandpa is still a kid at heart too!

Yay....the turkey is ready!

After everyone was happy with full bellies.....it was time for some family pictures!

The Johnson's are hilarious!

The entire family...including baby #2 for us that is due June 2011! We are beyond thrilled and find out next Monday, January 10, 2011 it it's a boy or girl!

And now it's time for dress-up and more playing:

The weekend after Thanksgiving we celebrated Walter's birthday. His birthday, as well as Chad's and Grandpa's, is right before Christmas and always gets mixed in with the Christmas festivities. Chad's is the 22nd, Walter's the 23rd and Grandpa's the 24th. This year we decided to split Walter's apart and had a family party at home after Thanksgiving. Walter turned 5 and loved his cake and gifts.


Happy Birthday to Walter!

Claire and Abby want it to be their birthday too!

"Are you sure it's not my birthday?"

"I think that present says Abigayle!"

Walter is so excited to play with his new Night Fury!
And Abby tries a turn with the light saber.

But Surprise, Surprise....Claire is still eating cake! She may be the slowest eater I know! (but hey, that's good right?!)
