Turkey Day (We are a little behind)!

Okay these are a little out of order and a little behind! Yesterday we went to get our Christmas tree. Our intent was to cut it down at the local tree farm but we didn't like what was available so we got an already cut tree. Tommy was still equally excited about making the choice for Santa's tree. We have been discussing Santa coming if he is a good boy and he has been requesting "Douglas and Douglas," ( for those of you unfamiliar with Tommy speak that is the Thomas the trains' Donald and Douglas set).

Tommy and Daddy h ave made their choice. I of course had to give the final thumbs up.

Now to Thanksgiving! Declan Pettit came to Gigi and Pops' house for an introduction. Pops couldn't get over what a beef cake this kid is especially b/c he came out of little Katie!!! He is a doll and the Egerer family is happy to be in his life:)

The Heim family went bowling the day after Thanksgiving. Tommy enjoyed the endless running around and ball throwing with his cousins while I had difficulties bowling. I think my equilibrium was a little off. We all had a good time. Gigi below bowling with grace and style.

Tommy got a little assistance with the ramp. As soon as the ball would roll down the ramp he would run to the side and say "Go Tommy's ball, go!"

Here's a site I thought I would never see. Pops would take a practice swing with his arm, (very similar to his style in golf) then he would bowl. Needless to say the man probably hasn't been bowling in twenty years and he beat all of us!!!

The kids table for the THanksgiving feast. Eating really wasn't a priority as they all just wanted to play.

Oh and more bowling pictures of all of the crazies!

It is Tommy's contribution to the Turkey bowl as he was racked out while all of the kids and adults were outside playing. I think we have a future here!

Dad and his boys. We thoroughly enjoyed having Zack for the long holiday weekend. We know Tommy did too!

I just thought this was a nice picture so I shared. Aunt Robin, Uncle Ben and Cousin Susan.

We did attempt a Turkey Bowl football game and this is the only shot that I really got. To be honest all of the adults were over it as it was just too cold!!! Ten minutes of passing the ball and sending the kids out for some toss plays were the extent of the Turkey Bowl. Better luck next year!
