Thanksgiving 2013

We had a very happy and yummy Thanksgiving on Thursday.  The boys started off with a sweet potato pancake breakfast - Spencie couldn't stuff them in his mouth fast enough!  After playing outside for a little bit, Owen and Oliver kept busy while waiting for Thanksgiving lunch by stringing beads, making long and colorful "caterpillars".  I've been so impressed with how much interest they've had in and how good they've become at this fine motor activity lately...the beads I give them are so tiny and just barely fit over the thin shoestrings I give them!  We all knew one thing Spencie was thankful for this year - his "silky" and "baba", which he just can't seem to live without these days.  He dragged his brown elephant blankie all through the house that morning, while sucking on his festive red pacifier and waiting for Thanksgiving treats.  We had an amazing spread from La Madeline which everyone really enjoyed.  Spencer and Oliver were happy to get a big piece of pumpkin pie afterward, their latest favorite dessert!  Spencie even came running in wearing Daddy's jogging shoes for his piece.  Since pies are on Owen's anti-sweets list, he happily ate a candy corn pumpkin in place of the pie!

Too stuffed for pie?  No way!
