Thanksgiving is my favorite :)

Happy Thanksgiving, people! What better time to start blogging again? Maybe if I'm lucky i will get the at least the holidays recorded here.. I decided today that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love that its the beginning of true Holiday season; instead of being sad that its over at the end if the day, im looking forward to decorating for Christmas, which is only in 4 weeks!! And I officially get to listen to Christmas music (and pretend like I don't the rest of the year, too).
Today we went to my parent's house for lunch/dinner. Actually, we ate our (enormous) lunch at 3ish, then we pretty much had dessert for dinner, since we ate that around 5:30 :). We enjoyed the fire and good company, watched 'The Lion King'. I listened to Mish try to explain to Piper why animals die in stampedes without actually saying how they die, and that no, water can't bring them back to life if they are really dead (she asks tough questions about death, lately) (plus, that movie is pretty intense). (Mish did great, I think- I'm definitly no expert!). Troy got to play with his cousins and Memere to his heart's content, feed Matt and Jenean's fish, and play with Memere and Pepere's toys. All in all, it was a great day :). Unfortunately, I hardly got any pictures! Here's what I did get:

Lately, Troy loves anything that even remotely resembles a guitar or a baseball bat- he goes back and forth between the two sporadically. For example, one minute the kitchen spatula is a guitar, the next it could be a baseball bat, you just have to watch out for his swing. Especially when the object is long and pokey -

(Just don't ask me why I let him bring that stick inside) Right now it's a guitar, if you can't tell. He also sings, which is adorable :). Of course, thanks to Heavy Metal Mater, a lot of his singing is heavy metal style...still adorable! (For now...)

Happy holidays and happy blogging!
