"I Feel Like Having Thanksgiving All Over Again" (Forrest)

Who's quote is that above?  Forrest!  Those were the first words out of his mouth this morning.  Well, we can accomodate him.  There are enough left overs to feed an army.  No problem...our kids eat like they are  an army!

Thanksgiving morning,  we started out with tomato omelettes...

Everyone arrived and the prep and clean- up brigade were awesome! (Katie, Billy, and Shane)
O.K.  This is one cutie!  Quoted from Alex... "Our cousin, Isabella,  is the cutest baby I have ever seen."  Quote from Phillip..."Where can we pick-up one of these?"  And to our friend Drew...I think Kate has a rival.  Molly was all over Isabella.  I had to remind her that Isabella is a person and not a doll.  Molly's reply, "Well, she looks like a doll."
We had desserts galore.  That is one awesome and naughty chocolate cake.  Believe me,  I know...had some for breakfast and now I am absolutely FORCED into taking my power walk today! 
No one can move at this point...
Except for the little ones....(Molly and Cousin Riley)
The poser had to dress-up for a pose...

At 2:30 in the morning, I woke up to this guy's stomach gurgling...I was getting concerned...after all,   he had his fair share of turkey, liver, and giblets...Hmmm....I thought.  Is he going to leave me a present on the rug?  His stomach was so loud I could hear his tummy gurgling  from the next room.  He looked relaxed,  so I eventually went back to sleep...and it was a good morning.  Gunther is still relaxing!





"Mom, I feel like I'm Mr. Darcy  at his breakfast table!" (Yes, but are you worth "10,000 pounds a year?")  Actually, he is priceless. (Spoken from an extremely biased mother.)


Although not all of the family was with us at our table, you  all were with us in spirit!

I have to admit - I would love to try that cake - and if it was in my house I would have had some for breakfast too! And that little Isabella really is a cutie - I LOVE her name! :)
