Thanksgiving 2010

I know what you're thinking.....Thanksgiving was a week ago! Why the late post? Well, between traveling to see family and going back to work this week, all three of us have managed to be sick. I had the stomach bug, I think Will has an ear infection, and Matt was exhausted to the point of feeling bad due to early morning work days. We are all feeling much better now, and I finally have a chance to document the holiday.

Did I mention that it was Will's first major holiday?! Sure, we celebrated Easter and the 4th of July, but those can't really compete with Thanksgiving/Christmas. We had a blast! We mostly spent time with family at my parents house. We had big plans to go shopping and see Christmas lights after Thanksgiving, but then the sickness hit and we ended up laying low. Matt, however, was able to go duck hunting and go to the Razorback game while I stayed home recovering with Will. Even though the visit didn't go according to plan, we had a great time celebrating with family. Will loved seeing his aunts/uncles/cousins, and of course his GJ & Popa. He enjoyed his holiday meal of oatmeal and Cheerios (while we devoured my mom's awesome cooking), and he loved watching all of the football games. He had a great first Thanksgiving!

Matt helped carve the turkey for the first time!
Will loved spending time with his Aunt Lizzie  :)

I almost forgot the best part!! Guess who got his first tooth! That's right--Will got his very first toofer. All the credit goes to my sister. She discovered it while playing with him after the meal on Thanksgiving. We'll always remember the day he got his first tooth, since it was on a holiday! Guess that explains the fussiness lately....

On to December! Can't believe Christmas is just around the corner! :)
