~Day 331: A Day To Eat and Be Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!  The day was pretty restful and nice for the most part. There were a few little sqawbles with the kids, but it really was a nice day. 

Nick had a photo shoot this morning, so it was just me and the kids. We played games most of the morning. The TV or computer wasn't on. It was so nice. 

Ashton really wanted to play Risk. I was going to play, but I let them go at it alone. It was fun to watch them try to play it.  

We weren't eating the large meal until 5 pm, so Cailee helped me cook brunch. We had breakfast burritos. She helped cook both the sausage and the eggs. She loves to help me. 

Dinner was at Jim and Chris's house. The kids always love to visit because they get to see our old dog Benny. They had fun playing with him for a little while. 

Dinner was really good. Alissa, John and JJ were there. Annette and Russell were down visiting Nathan and Erica and baby Sophie. So they were all there. And Bart and Stephanie were there too. It was really nice to sit and visit with everyone.  

Baby Sophie thought it was time to eat too.  Poor Erica was out with Sophie for most of the meal.  Grandma Annette took over so Erica could have a turn to eat.  

Cailee had to get her JJ fix. She just loves her new cousin.  He liked to watch her while she talked to him. He's getting so big!

And I had to get a baby fix, too. Sophie is still so tiny. She is as big now as JJ was when he was born.  She is so sweet. I'm grateful Nathan and Erica let me steal her for a short time. 

It was a very nice day.  The holidays have officially started in my book. I'm sure time will go too fast and it will be the new year before we know it.
