We had a lovely day with Doug's family. His Aunt Mary hosts every year. She lives less than 2 miles from us, which is SO nice! Any, we all were there and had lots of good food, good conversation, and good laughs. If my daughter didn't turn into a grumpy pumpkin when she stays up later than her usual bedtime, we might still be there! :) It IS nice to be home, tho.. we are looking forward to getting our tired bodies into bed soon!! But first, some pics. (FYI.. yes, I took pictures, but I didn't get any of all of us at the table or of the "hostess with the mostess" Aunt Mary...ugh!)
Here is Evelyn with Doug's sister Debbie. We think she is pretty special! Isn't Evelyn's grin the best? :)
Here they are again, but with cousin Gregory (31/2). He is ALL boy.. and calls Evelyn "Elefan"! :)
The "big kids". My nephews Ben (almost ten.. *sigh*.. he's my "first" nephew!), Mitchell (almost 8) and Zach (7)
Mitchell LOVES Evelyn and she thinks he is pretty neat, too!
Ben and the boys put on a magic show for us. Here is "The Amazing Ben". HILARIOUS!
Since the whole Morris family was together, we decided to celebrate Evelyn's birthday, too. This may become a tradition, who knows! She had fun opening presents and playing with her new toys and book. Below is a video of her being sang to by the vonTrapp's.. uh, I mean, the Morris'. Its hard to tell in the video, but they do, like, this 18 million part harmony with the "birthday song". It always makes me cry when they sing it. AMAZING! Evelyn just looked at everyone in awe, but in the end really enjoyed it. Then she tried to burn herself on the candle.. but it was all fine in the end! Enjoy!
Time for Christmas music!
Time for pepperment mochas (I only have them between Thankgiving and New Years Day)!
But first, time for bed!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
