Turkey day isn't complete without real live Turkeys. That's what I thought as I got out of the car at my sister Vicki's house and was greeted by 3 gobbling birds (see pics). We started off the week with a quick trip to Grandma and Grandpa Nelson's up in Oregon. We had so much fun relaxing, eating, riding the ATV, playing on the beach and driving up the Mt's to see the beautiful scenery around the Scottsburgh area.
We also got a visit from my family, including Grandpa and Grandma Rathbun. Vicki hosted Thanksgiving, and we all chipped in "potluck style." My contribution - "steam and mash potatoes" - I bought them and hit the button on the microwave ( still not a cook!). It was great. Kyle just loved all the animals, and was a big ham - lots of smiles, "bye byes", blowing kisses and his usual lovable self. He wasn't much into Turkey but seemed to like the stuffing, sweet potatoes and Pumpkin Pie. We are so Thankful to have time with both families.
Kyle is really full of personality now, and seems to understand so much. His latest achievements include - sweeping the back patio (he tries), he knows what it means when I say "bath time" and "read books?." He understands what it means to get ready and go "bye bye's" - he runs to the back door, into the garage and pounds on the car door to go on his adventures. So much fun!
