Pictures from Thanksgiving


We had many visitors for Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, Will and I spent so much time running around the house, that we didn't get the camera out often enough.


This is actually a few days before everyone arrived, but explains why all of his Aunts and Uncles voted Anders mostly likely to have the first broken bone amongst the cousins.


The kid has no fear - in fact last night shortly before getting ready for bed, he wanted to look in his fish tank so I put him up on the chair that he was patting. He then wanted something up on top of his fish tank and I wouldn't get it for him, so he climbed up on the arm of the chair in order to reach the wanted item.


Anders got to ride on Uncle Rob's shoulders while at Como Zoo.


The obligatory picture showing how tricky it is to get so many people to look at the camera at once. Carrie looks cute though!


Anders also likes to wear hats around the house. This one was made by his Aunt Betsy last year.


Another hat - this one was given to him by my friend Michele last year. I'm wondering if he is going to be one of those guys that wears stocking caps all of the time...


This was taken after everyone was gone. If you click on the picture it should get larger and you can see that Anders is fixing the locomotive. His dad is right next to him trying to fix the dehumidifier. Anders spent quite a bit of time fixing this toy yesterday. He also thought it might work on it a bit tonight possibly as a stall tactic right before bed.

It was very nice to have everyone here all weekend, hope everyone had a great weekend!

Enjoyed all the photos. Started to drool looking at the turkey. Is there a secret as to how you got it so nicely brown?

It was a good time, thanks guys. Carrie was cute...she was also very attentive to the task at hand...maybe the only one who was able to stay focused in the midst of chaos...interesting for an only child...way to go Carrie! ... although she did start to lose it in the end as well ... (witness Betsy's series of pics)... jean
