Gobble til you Wobble

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Ruth's house with the Roper family this year. It was just as delicious as always and everyone enjoyed spending time with Gigi and with our family's two newest members: baby Roper and baby Robert. My Daddy has come up with his own personal nicknames for these two: "R. Hank" for Roper Henry and "R. Hudge" for Robert Hudgens!

There are many things I'm thankful for...everything, really. It would be truly impossible to count all my blessings or articulate the many things I'm thankful for. So, instead of coming up with a list, I'll just get on with it and give you people what you really want...pictures from our Thanksgiving feast.







What a funny face!


Mason shared his flower with Gigi...


Then shared a kiss with her...


In return, she shared some peppermint bark with him!

(Let me interject -- Sydney and I agreed that we both love Gigi's sweater. How many people covet their grandmother's clothes? But...it wouldn't fit me. Sigh.)









I didn't get many pictures during dinner, because I was eating {of course}! Robert and Mason sat next to each other during dinner (neither Graem nor I were at the table with him). This was Mason's first experience eating from fine china! When I got married, Aunt Ruth told me that I should make it a point to use my china and silver about once a month. I love to get out the "good dishes," but with small children it doesn't happen nearly as often as once a month -- and Mason has certainly never had the opportunity to eat from them! He has now proved that he is up to the task. Such a big boy all of a sudden!
