Thanksgiving Day Photos

Thanksgiving Day we visited Jeremy's Grandma's house for an afternoon dinner, and then headed to my (Emily's) Mom's house for dinner in the evening. In true Thanksgiving fashion, we all ate until our bellies ached.

Evan's Great-Grandma has a mirror hanging behind her couch. It only took Evan a few second to "find" the other boy in the mirror and begin taunting him...


Evan and his Great-Grandma Eileen.

Evan and his Auntie Karla (and Grandpa in the background.)


Evan loves to wear his Grandpa's hat.


Evan truly was the entertainment of the evening - here he is in his Great-Grandma's chair. Why the smiling face? Because Grandma has a massage pad on her chair. Daddy turned it on for Evan and he LOVED it. I think Santa may have to bring us one. It was the quietest he was all day. After the initial giggles, he sat in the chair for ten whole minutes and didn't say a peep! He just sat there with a big smile on his face.

Here's a video of Evan in the chair - for those of you that don't know him it may not seem like much, but for those of you that DO know Evan, know that he is a very active child, and he almost NEVER sits still...especially for more than 5 seconds at a time!


Grandpa showed Evan how to ring a bell that his Great-Grandma got from Germany.
Tonight (Friday) we braved the cold weather and went to see the Holiday Stroll parade. There were real reindeer and a big firetruck with Santa on it! Evan had this look on his face pretty much the entire time. I couldn't tell if he was fascinated or bored...

What a funny video. He has absolutely no reaction to it. I think we need to invest in one at our house. It might be a releif from all of the crazy acitivity of a one year old! What a cutie.
