Ryan's First Thanksgiving - Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

Ryan and Mommy on Thanksgiving morning - such a happy day.

What a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving day, and one we are most THANKFUL for because we have our little one at last!

Ryan started the day with a 6:30am wake up time, which he does every couple of weeks but not too often - thank goodness.  Ry played on the floor with Mommy until his 8:00am nap, which prevented him from seeing the start of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  Ah, he's only 6 months old, so not too big a deal. He did wake up not long after it began though, and he played on the floor some more & did catch some of NBC's coverage with Mommy.

Later in the morning, Ryan and Mommy went for a walk, and Ryan went down for his mid-morning nap around 11am.  He woke up just in time to head to Chris and Evelyn Kemp's house for our Thanksgiving meal.  Ryan ate pumpkin puree and Ms. Evie's mashed potatoes for lunch.  Yum, Yum! He looked all full of carbs towards the end of the meal and kind of stared off into the distance once he finished.  I think he was in a baby food coma.  Gave us all a good laugh while we were finishing up. Here's video of Daddy feeding Ryan his puree.  Click link below:

Ry is now napping.  He has had a very full day for his first-ever Thanksgiving.  Oh, and a warm one too.  It is in the high 70s.  No kidding.  That is very strange for us here...really, but we are enjoying it, & we'll enjoy it more during our evening walk to burn off some calories.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! WE LOVE YOU & MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU!

Love,
Chantal, Dave, Ryan & Ike

PS: We miss you, Bear.
