Happy Thanksgiving!

It was Aidan's first Thanksgiving, and it was a good one.  We had 10 people to our house - Grandpa and Grandma Powell, Grandpa and Grandma Crawford, cousins Emma, Kimmie, and Carlos, and of course, Ben, Aidan and me.  Each person was in charge of a food item, so we all contributed to the meal.  It turned out delicious!  We had way too much food and dessert, but hey, leftovers are okay!

Grandpa Powell brought a rocking duck that was my toy when I was little.  My grandma (Aidan's Great Grandma Powell) made it for me, and it's still in excellent shape.  He had such a good time sitting on the duck and rocking back and forth!


Aidan got to spend some time with his cousin Carlos, who is three.  Aidan just stared at Carlos and watched him do whatever he did.  He was very interested in all the things that Carlos could do!


Grandma Crawford brought Aidan a toy to help him walk, and he loved it!  He would push it around the house, and his walk was so cute.  Something of a cross between a penguin and Frankenstein...


Aidan enjoyed the meal and was a big fan of turkey.  He especially loved the turkey he could really grab ahold of and sink his teeth into.


We had a very nice Thanksgiving.  It was great to have everyone together for the day.
