An Early Thanksgiving Dinner

Today was our Annual Chesser Thanksgiving Dinner.  Gigi always holds her Thanksgiving Dinner the Sunday before Thanksgiving, so everyone can get together and not have conflicting schedules. I know I'm not going to complain, a Thanksgiving Dinner early.  Yummy!!

Watching Sesame Street before we loaded up in the car to head to Chesser's house.

Not only was it Nolan's first Thanksgiving Dinner, but it was also the first time Nolan met some of his cousins.  At first Nolan was a little shy, but he warmed up to everyone as soon as he woke up from his nap.  Aunt Julie brought down an old toy train of cousin Broc's for Nolan to play with.  Nolan thought it was the coolest thing ever!!

 Everyone got a kick out of the name on the Train.  We weren't quite sure how to pronounce it....

Entertaining everyone

Nolan played for a little bit and then it was time to dig in.  He sat in the same high chair I used to sit in!!  I allowed Papa T to feed Nolan some mashed potatoes with gravy and green bean casserole.  He really enjoyed both the mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.  I put my foot down when Papa T tried to give Nolan fudge though.

That's some good stuff!!

Hamming it up for the camera

Nolan was in such a great mood the entire day, every chance he had he was hamming it up for his audience.  Playing with Gigi's gourds, pushing around the train, pointing and talking to anyone who would pay attention to him.  Which was pretty much everyone in the room.

Blowing bubbles (spit) everywhere

We attempted a family photo numerous times and this picture ended up being the best one.  Of course, Nolan isn't looking at the camera.

We had a delicious meal and a great day with the Chesser Family!!  Nolan had a blast playing with everyone and meeting his cousins.  Until the official Thanksgiving Dinner....
