It was a Crozier year this year! And our gathering was "small" (read: we only filled TWO large tables!) After some reminiscing, I think we determined it was Graham's first Thanksgiving off in 5 years so we made the best of the whole day. First just the 4 of us went for a walk along the Kirkland waterfront with Peppermint Mochas in hand. Then I went for a short run (just for good measure) before we loaded up and headed for Graham's parents.
Our wonderful host and hostess
Emma perfected her walking skills on Tuesday and so she spent most of the day walking around the house carrying things (cool new trick!)
Isla invested her time in a special new puzzle until Grandma pulled out her nativity scene. That was a real hit and she is getting better at telling a slightly accurate Christmas story.
Graham can't for the life of him keep from squinting when someone snaps a picture of him. So, we decided not to bother even having him open his eyes anymore. Trust me, it's better this way.
Uncle John made the very best part of the Thanksgiving meal (according to Isla): the rolls! She had three! When I told her no to having a 4th, she went and asked cousin Stew. Smart girl!
Cousins! Poor Canon was feeling a bit under the weather but put up with his cousins poking and prodding his face for as long as he could.
I think it's fair to say Emma LOVED the apple pie! She could not keep her hands off of Olona's plate.
Look at our thankful tree - we filled it! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
