Thanksgiving 2011

We had a very low-key Thanksgiving this year.  Mimi and Poppy were in Kentucky visiting family but Grandpa and Auntie KK were able to spend the holiday with us.  It was a day filled with watching the Thanksgiving Day parade, coloring, cooking, eating and relaxing...and of course cleaning up, the least fun activity of the day.  

One of our goals for Thanksgiving Day weekend?  Getting Evelina to say "Auntie KK" and "Grandpa".  She will say her version of "Auntie" and "KK" separately, and also "Pa". We still need to work on Miss Lina being more comfortable with Grandpa.  She is going through another phase of stranger anxiety and it definitely applies to family as well. She will get there.

Some pictures of the day.....
