Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a crazy blur of activity this year. My brother and his girlfriend, Lisa, arrived late Wednesday night and thank goodness for that. They were loads of help in cooking and preparing the great Thanksgiving feast. Mike told Lisa to name her price because Tyler just adores her. All we heard all weekend was "Lisa, where are you?" "Come with me Lisa."

No major incidents on Thanksgiving except for the mystery animal that knocked the turkey drippings off of the roof of Mike's car and left little footprints all over his windshield. Lisa and I saw the animal on Friday morning scampering out of the garage and it looked like a white ferret but there have been no sightings since. Tyler quickly adapted to the new reality that "the Turkey" was going to live in the refrigerator and then we were going to eat it. I wonder if he is worried about the fate of Santa Clause and the Reindeer?

Matt and Lisa watched Mia and Tyler on Friday while Mike and I went out for our first date night since Mia was born. Matt, my brother with the weak stomach, got lucky and got to change one of Mia's more impressive diapers. We celebrated Uncle Matt's 27th birthday on Saturday and everyone headed home Sunday morning. Now onto the next holiday!


Mike's first turkey carving. It was all captured on video if you are interested in purchasing the footage for a small fee.

You can see Lisa didn't get a lot of rest this weekend
