Thanksgiving for us was down in NY this year and after an easy drive, sans traffic Thursday morning, we got down to eating! Being a picky eater, Finley decided to start off drinking first--in his new, Cars chalice that Grandpa bought for him.
But we did need him to eat something, so we loaded up his plate with a little bit of everything and used a sticker chart to track his ten bites of Thanksgiving dinner.
He ate the broccoli first, then mildly tolerated a fork full of mashed potatoes, and finished with the turkey. He seemed to prefer the white meat (that's my boy!) but tried the dark meat, too. He refused to sample his GG's amazing gravy, but that just meant more for the rest of us.
Dagny made her rounds and enjoyed the social nature of this holiday.
And she entertained herself for a bit, too. Love this "Go Pod" from Grammy :) She still needs a little extra support, thus the pillow, but she loves being upright with lots of toys within reach.
After Finley had all his bites and most everyone else was done, we got a big platter to put out the fall leaf cookies and chocolate/peanut butter acorns that Finley and I had made the day before.
We also took some family photos for my parents' holiday card--GG was kind enough to snap a dozen as we tried to get everyone looking at the camera with their eyes open. I won't post the one that will actually be on the card, but here's my favorite runner up!
Happy Thanksgiving!
