Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving this year at our house. My parents, Percy, Kim, Kati and Jude joined us. We started the morning by getting the turkey in the oven and last minute cleaning and set up. As we were doing that, Lark moved the gate from the dining room out to the living room and Brayden thought it was the best thing! He kept running back and forth between all of the rooms, throwing himself up on the couch in the living room only to get down and do it all over again. He was in rare form.

Percy, Kim, Kati and Jude arrived around 1 and we ate about 2 (during Brayden's nap). We had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing (gluten free and not), sweet potatoes, balsamic glazed carrots, corn, apple cranberry sauce, apple pie and pumpkin roll. No one went hungry.

When Brayden woke up, he went right back to running around like a crazy person and had a great time all day long. Lark took him up to his room to go to bed and he didn't make a peep - he was so exhausted he just went right to sleep.
