Thanksgiving: Continued...








Hooray for good friends. It was fun to get together with the Felts and the Hansens again for Thanksgiving.

However, for some reason it just didn't feel like Thanksgiving...
Was it because I did a lot of the cooking?
Or perhaps because there wasn't any snow on the ground yet?
Maybe it's because I didn't put a fancy table cloth on the table...

Actually, I think the main reason was because we weren't with our families.
I know we weren't with them last year for Thanksgiving either, but somehow last year felt more like Thanksgiving. I think the fact that the Felts hosted it last year and Keriann's mom was in town somehow made it feel more normal...something about having that motherly figure there.

Anyway, I really did enjoy spending time with our friends. And we had plenty of tasty food.
I am thankful for good friends out here in Toledo. They are like our little family our here.

Even the little boys seemed to enjoy themselves.

It is fun to see James and Robby start to "interact" more. James wants to crawl on Robby and play with him. For now Robby can't do much more than smile and laugh and maybe grab James' shirt. But, he is getting more and more interactive each day.

He has started using his hands a lot more and wants everything in his mouth! Steve likes covering his finger with a burp cloth and letting Robby chew on it.

Hi Toller's! I'm glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and did mention the "motherly" thing. I enjoyed your company last year and have enjoyed the memories I made. You did very well this year and Keriann tells me how yummy and fun it was. You are starting your own traditions and becoming the "motherly" yourself. Thank you for posting such cute pictures of your little family. I really enjoy looking at and reading about your "growing up" years! Merry Christmas to all of you!
