The secret to limiting your calories on Thanksgiving

A baby in your lap makes it difficult to eat, and frankly a meal becomes less and less worth it with a 6 month old wriggling around trying to steal your food and your silverwear, and pretty much anything he can get his hands on. Second helpings, are out of the question. So, on one hand Row really got in the way of Thanksgiving dinner, but on the other he probably saved both of us- Jon and I- 5000 calories. Even with Row, dinner was fabulous, and the babies breathe new life into every holiday. They change holiday celebrations and make them even better.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Jon's dad house this year. Everyone was there, including cousins Soren and Sean. We missed Mike and Deb and their boys, but we hope to see them at Christmas. Rowen met his Uncle Anthony, and was amazed by his wheelchair. Anthony was kind enough to indulge Row's curiosity and let him explore:)
