This year we decided to host both sides for Thanksgiving. We thought it would be easier to not have to travel. So Thanksgiving number one was on Thursday. We had family from Indy, Syracuse, Chicago and Columbus, OH.
Tommy wore his Indian headband in celebration. He called it that, not me. I'm waaaayyyy more politically correct than that.
Charlotte celebrated by being held...
by Aunt Erin...
and Aunt Laura...
and cousin David...
and the newly and officially crowned UNCLE Doug!
She also took many naps too (although not in this picture).
Later in the evening, I decided to have some wine and Tommy decided to have some dessert although it looks like he's partaking in the pinot.
We also played Celebrity. Andrew and I were teammates during one round. He started out with, "He played for the Chicago Bears.... He was a linebacker in the 60s and 70s???" I had no clue. I named off people that were incredibly incorrect. Then he says, "His first name is this (Points to his groin) and his last name is this (points to his rear)" I yell, "DICK BUTKUS!!!!"
Best line of the night! It was the 'Eric Baldwin' of last year's game.
The next day was Friday and we were all very tired. AND CUTE!
Then Saturday it was time for the Keiper Thanksgiving. Tommy showed off his dance moves. Andrew showed off his stache.
Charlotte chilled with Brandon and Desi. Seriously, she's totes chillaxed.
We had an awesome Mexican fiesta because we knew we would be all turkeyed out. Everyone brought lots of great Mexican goodies, including this cake. My Aunt Debbie went to the local Mexican grocery store aka the Tienda de Comesibles. She got tamales and this dulce de leche cake. She forgot to order one so she brought someone else's cancelled dulce de leche cake. Apparently Daniel wasn't going to have a feliz cumpleanos. Bummer, Daniel! You were the talk of our Thanksgiving celebration though!
PS- Yes you can see her you-know-whats. Feliz feliz cumpleanos para Daniel, eh?? Ai-yi-yi!
As is tradition, there was a jam session in the basement. Jack impressed us all with his shredding skills. I only got one video so you get a tiny look at the musical prowess of the fam. Tommy can keep quite a beat for a 3 year old!
We had a great time hosting both Thanksgivings. It was exhausting but still lots of fun! Thanks everyone for coming! Happy Thanksgiving!
