Gobble Till You Wobble 2010

Gobble Till You Wobble 2010 was a success! Mommy knew she would have little difficulty conquering this feat but was still pleased with her ability to ingest nearly a whole pan of brownies and an assortment of pies (not the whole pie of course, but at least a piece of each) along with all the traditional Thanksgiving foods. Lexa participated in her very first Thanksgiving this year and most likely ate more than her brother...which probably surprises nobody. She enjoyed sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and (as she is a brick off the old block) pumpkin pie...with whipped cream no less! Jacer had the usual...chocolate milk with a few nibbles of real food here and there. He did however, participate in the consumption of the brownies and the licking of bowls (pictures below). Daddy spent part of the weekend working and the other part hanging with the rest of the crew at Grandma and Grandpa’s.

Now that you have had a play by play of what each family member consumed (which you probably were dying to know) allow Mommy to delight your eyes with these splendid pictures of the festivities.

There were all sorts of fun activities from a dud of a shopping trip Friday morning to a family gathering and subsequent lighted Christmas parade....


Getting a little workout reaching for those cheerios...off the floor Mommy might add.



Meeting Santa for the first time in 2010...and no doubt telling him his one true wish this Christmas. Cars Underwear please.



T-R-O-U-B-L-E...but more on that in another post

Jace's prized possession. Yes, it's chapstick. Apparently it trumped the soap. Grandma bought Jace his very own chapstick Friday morning on the shopping excursion (bust) and he acted as if he had seen the light for the very first time.

And that be it! Mommy would list the things she is thankful for but there wouldn't be enough room on this blog. The pictures pretty much sum it up anyway....
