Thanksgiving (just a wee bit late)

It's about time! On Thanksgiving, I asked Jack what he was thankful for (his answer below), after he answered for himself, he went on to suggest what the rest of his family was thankful for;

Jack - Candy & choo choo trains
Kate - M&M's
Daddy-Choo choo trains
Mommy - Snakes

Now, some of this needs little explanation - after all, what 3 year old isn't thankful for candy? Choo Choo trains, well, they are a big hit in this house right now. As for his answer for Mommy, well, he was running out of ideas at that point and looking around his room for inspiration. He spotted a giant stuffed snake and well, there it was. The answer.

Mommy is really thankful for many things this year - none of them snakes. Among them, her two darling children, her very supportive husband, Pop Pop's increasingly good health, the generosity of an anonymous donor, her mother's fortitude and positive outlook & last but not least the good health & continued good fortune of her entire family...
Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving. Somehow, Scott escaped capture in any of them, but I assure you... he was there!
After a fabulous meal...
Cousin Austin + large cardboard box = FUN

Kate's contribution... she cleans!
