I feel as though I should begin this post with a warning: I take too many pictures and sometimes can be am almost always a little wordy. Our Thanksgiving break was so jam-packed, that I feel as though this double-whammy might be especially terrible for this post. Feel free not to read on. I wont be offended. Unless only 2 people comment, and then I might feel sad and realize that I'm writing all the words and taking all the pictures for only four people, including my mom and Adam's mom.
We celebrated Thanksgiving twice. With two equally ginormous and complete Thanksgiving dinners. Adam deserves a big shout out for cooking two Thanksgiving meals. I, for one, am totally impressed. And feel so grown-up that we cooked this turkey all by ourselves (do you like how I used "we" there?). Isn't it pretty? (and if you look closely, you can see a portion of Caden's own Thanksgiving Feast of GERBER GOODSTART. Yum).
Love these kiddos. Particularly the sunglasses which have been converted to winter glasses by the removal of dark lenses. Genius.
And here is my balding little man with a receeding hairline. Look how well he's holding up his cute little head!
Jayci was apparently happy about the second Thanksgiving feast. I'm telling you, I have never seen more amazingly delicious food in one place, so I can't say I blame her for all the happiness.
Oh hi there cute little turkey-butt.
Our Thanksgiving break also included a girls' night (complete with Christmas movie and crafting and popcorn) for some of the neighborhood kiddos (and also these two little trouble-makers angels).
And Caden spent much time watching the festivities while laughing, smiling, yelling, blowing spit bubbles, and being generally cute.
I realize that this picture is totally ridiculous, dark, grainy, out of focus and I'm wrinkling my nose unattractively (and also Adam looks like a total creeper) but I love it nonetheless.

The first Thanksgiving meal was the one we hosted at our house for some of our neighbors and neighborhood kiddos. We had 27 people in attendance for this feast. That's a lot of folks crammed into our not-so-large house. Not to mention that we would have had even more, but several children left before they ate (as a result of their inability to stop all the fighting).
Somehow, everyone had a seat. And we ate all the food save a small portion of turkey. Loaves and fish I tell you.
I kid you not, directly after finishing cleaning up after this feast, Adam headed to my parents' house to brine a turkey a la Pioneer Woman. Impressive right?
The next morning, we all went over to my parents house so Adam could finish making the feast, and so Jayci Snow White could play with her "friends" in the yard.
And also so that Caden could hang out with Oma-Oma (my dad's mom). Love her.
And then Cinderella showed up to help decorate the tree.
