A Thanksgiving to be Thankful for

We had a wonderful and busy Thanksgiving this year. It was full of family, delectable (Tyler's favorite word) food, football, and Parker showing off!! It was great! It went like this.....


Thanksgiving morning Parker had a tasty meal of baby rice cereal for the first time! He wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first but he got the hang of it eventually. Yum!

Next it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Pooley's for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was great and we had lots of fun with Tyler's big family including grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. The guys played football on the Playstation and the girls hung out with all the babies. After everyone left, we hung out with Tyler's parent and the kids and watched Journey to the Center of the Earth. It was a very fun night.
We discovered Parker is quite the show-off. This is his new favorite trick... standing and balancing on Dad's hand. It scares me but I love how proud of himself he gets. He preformed all weekend long!


Here are Lacey with her baby girl Mikaela and Tyler's mom with Parker.

Friday we went to my grandparent's house in Idaho Falls. Once we got there we ate lots of left-overs and had our annual Milligan/Pooley vs. Ottersburg football game. It is an ongoing rivalry every Thanksgiving! No turkey coma or freezing temperature can keep us from playing. Fun fun! That night Tyler and I took all the kids to the movies to see Madagascar 2. Parker stayed with my mom, aunt, and grandma who fought over him all weekend.

My cute cousins with Parker. Kids make the holidays so fun!

Parker and his great-grandma (GG). We love her!

Parker's last trick was sitting up on his own Friday night! He just decided all of the sudden that he was going to sit up and he was going to do it all on his own. He sat up like this for a good five minutes before he got so proud of himself, he fell over. My little boy is growing up. Well, that was our holiday. Such wonderful memories!
