Nolan's First Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving started off at home, we relaxed in the morning and took our time getting ready to head to Hillsboro.  Our first pit stop was at Grandpa and Grandma Purcell's house.  Nolan was able to meet family members he hadn't met yet.  Nolan had a fun time playing with everyone.  Bill and I enjoyed delicious Thanksgiving meal #1.  After we finished at the Purcell's, we headed over to Nana and Papa T's house for meal #2.

Meal #2 was very low key.  Our immediate family only, it was so nice being able to have a relaxing setting while eating dinnert.  I allowed Nolan to have some big boy food this time.  He loved it!!  He had green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and dressing.  Yummy!  Nolan liked wearing his food as much as he liked eating it.

Nolan hamming it up for everyone

Boy oh boy, can Nana cook.  She made a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner!!  Everyone ate way too much.  Bill had to stretch out so he could breathe. :)  We all had to wait an hour or more before we dug into the dessert, which was glorious as well.

I wanted to take everyone's pictures since it was Nolan's first Thanksgiving.  Everyone was up for it!! :)

After a superb meal, we decided to wash Nolan up.  It is so much easier to bathe him in the kitchen sink, instead of taking him upstairs and dragging all of his bath stuff out.  Nolan really enjoys the sink baths too!

 I love this picture!

 Nolan discovered the kitchen sink hose

Nolan had a blast with the hose, and made a huge mess.  Nana didn't care one bit though.

After Nolan finished his bath, we all went into the living room to play, or to watch Nolan play.  My parent's neighbors have a little boy that has grow out of a few of his toys, so they brought all the old toys down for Nolan to play with.  Nolan hit the jackpot.  He loves the Legos and Tonka Truck.  

Bill and I have so much to be thankful for in our lives; our amazing baby boy, our wonderful family and friends, and the love we have for each other.  We are not only thankful on Thanksgiving, but everyday of our lives for these magnificent things.
