Turkey Time

Loved, loved, loved Thanksgiving this year! We all gathered around our dining room table for the first time since the boys were born. For the past couple of years Thanksgiving dinner has been a meal eaten in shifts while we take turns eating and feeding the little ones. It was SO nice for everyone to sit down together and enjoy being together and enjoying delicious food. James' favorite was the turkey and Brendan ate almost all of the cranberry sauce we had. Here is a little bit of what we are most thankful for this year:
