Thanksgiving Fun

We were so lucky to have a crowd at Thanksgiving time this year -- it sure bits a plastic mattress in a Cincinnati hospital!

Erica's parents arrived on Monday night and spent the week taking care of Miriam (thanks guys!), hanging out at our house, and sharing in some birthday fun at Miri's birthday party #2. At left, Miri plays with the toy from Grandma and Grandpa and models an oh-so-cute hat her Aunt Vida knit for her. Unfortunately, Miri apparently has learned to close her eyes when she sees the camera -- she gets that from her dad. [We think the Grandparents look great, however!]
Chris' brother Mike came down with the Myers clan -- Ann, Matthew, and Damon. The boys had a great time celebrating "Mirsy's" birthday. We think it was the frost-your-own cupcakes that won them over. Miri loved her Worcester Sharks hockey stick and hanging out with the big boys. Cousin Pearce made an appearance with his dad and "Gogi" (that's grandma for those who don't speak Pearce yet). Erica's cousins, Gabe and Ilana also stopped by to join in the fun. What a crowd!

We loved being at Grandma Margery's with the whole family for Thanksgiving #1. Miri had bells on, literally. For dinner #2 we headed to the Ross family home and got to see the whole Ross crew as well as Aunt Laura. Miri had birthday party #3 (ai, the spoiling has begun!) and was showered with more presents, while her parents indulged in more pie, more sweet potatoes, and more stuffing. We're just barely at the point where we can eat again...
