For the first time in a long time we had a relatively relaxing and low-key Thanksgiving.  We didn’t cook a turkey or a ham.  All we made was dessert (apple crisp and a banana cream pie) and then showed up at Kerry and Bill’s in Hutto.  We got together with a bunch of mutual friends and had a nice afternoon, talking, eating, watching football and even playing a little Nintendo Wii.

The ladies did most (probably all) of the cooking.  Dinner was delicious.

All the food was really good.  From the turkey to the chestnut dressing.  Even the parsnips were yummy.

Collin likes dinner!

Wesley pretends to eat.

The only downside to not hosting dinner is not having any leftovers.  Okay, we’ve got lots of pie and crisp, but it is hard to make a sandwich with leftover apple crisp.

We didn’t forget that it was Wesley’s birthday on Wednesday.  We are just saving the big post for after his birthday party Saturday.  In case you can’t wait, here is a photo.

Even though his party isn’t until Saturday we’ve still had some fun.  He has opened a few presents and I came home from work mid-day and we all went out to lunch at Burger King.  Later in the day he spent some of his birthday money shopping with Amber and Jillian and got himself a stuffed orca among other things.

We took Jillian for her 15 months well check on Tuesday.  We went to hopefully our last pediatrician in Austin - we are on #4 now.

And guess what???  She is still small!

Length: 28 1/4 inches ( in the 3rd percentile - she is the length of an average 10 month)
Weight: 18 pounds 8 ounces (which is below the chart)
Head: 44.5cm (15th percentile)

But she is going up on her growth chart - ever so slowly - but it is still going in the right direction.

I see you!
