Happy Thanksgiving!
We enjoyed Tuesday - Friday of Thanksgiving week in Northern Virginia with the Purdy family. We were able to spend a lot of time together both during the day with the kiddos (including cousins Ashley and Madison) and at night too. I didn't get too many pictures, but here are a few that I did get.
My parents also joined us for the day which we enjoyed a lot - here is a turkey cheeseball that my mom brought. So cute and so yummy.
Uncle Mark bought a candy cane reindeer set. Owen and Ashley and Madison enjoyed creating reindeer with candy canes, pipe cleaners, cotton balls and googly eyes. We enjoyed it too.
The Purdy children hard at work on Thanksgiving Eve shelling shrimp. I stuck to setting the table! It was fun to all chip in and help Matt's mom get things ready for the big day.
Matt and the boys enjoying the Thanksgiving Day Parade. The JMU Marching Royal Dukes were even in the parade this year. We turned it on just in time to see them. Go Dukes! (We play in the seminfinals this weekend for the Div. 1AA Championship!)
Owen and Baxter playing in the big leaf pile that Matt's dad raked for them. I never knew how hard it would be to get your own two children to look at one camera. Phew!

Random Updates
Just a few random things that have been captured recently.
Owen has just aquired the skill of eating a banana by holding it. He learned this from his friend Grant. He calls it "banana in a bag - like Grant". So sweet.
One day Owen wrote his name like this - he hasn't been able to replicate it other than the O and W. The rest of it always looks like squiggles. It's so fun to watch him grow into a little boy!

Baxter is starting to enjoy books - mostly to chew on - here are a couple that he pulled down the other day.
