Thanksgiving Break

We had a fun couple of days spent at DeeDee's house with the family. We cooked for hours, ate the entire meal in 15 minutes, then ate pie, then went for second helpings of the first meal. Quite the tradition.


Cute little Addi (Chris & Aleisha's almost 1 yr old). Grandma DeeDee has all the fun toys.



Of course we have a great big traditional Thanksgiving meal and what does Colby and Hannah want to eat? Cereal. Big surprise. Thanks for the smile Colbster.

Hannah and Colby like the cereal that "talks" to you. aka Rice Krispies



Could it be Thanksgiving without Chris' annual Thanksgiving outfit - I think not! He only gets to break this baby out once a year. The Christmas outfit is just as fun... just you wait.





Day two of our Holiday fun. DeeDee's Mexican Market. DeeDee had an itch for tamales. ?? For real, tamales. I made the meat, DeeDee made the masa, and all the girls assembled them. Annie made some yummy tortillas with the leftover masa. One thing this family does well is eat. We like our food and get together for any old reason as long as food is involved. You should travel with us, it is non-stop eating. If my sister Julie is travelling with us the food gets a little questionable at times, but hey it is all in the right spirit.
Juanita Annie making her homemade tortillas. They were yummy. I laughed at DeeDee when she suggested we make tortillas with the leftover masa - Annie, the good sport, jumped at the opportunity to learn some of DeeDee's limitless wisdom.



I, on the other hand, snuggled with Mr. Cutie Pants Leo. 10 year olds are fine and dandy, but they just don't snuggle like they used to. I try to convince Luke to let me snuggle with him, but I inevitably get a dirty look from him.





What fun is DeeDee's hot tub? Never ending.






Mr. Snuggles was not feeling so good this day. A little feverish and fussy - teeth probably. Sure made for some great Aunt/Nephew snuggle time.

We missed you Laura (J & H) and Julie, but it sounds like you guys were well taken care of where you were. Love you, miss you.

Hot tubs and tamales and baby snuggles. I did miss the best stuff! Thanks for the great pics, Liz.
