wordless wednesday: thanksgiving style

liam's thanksgiving plans all came to fruition: we gathered at my parents' house.  the boys played football.  chris's parents joined us.  we ate a lot.  and then we went to bed.

oh, and a few other fun things happened along the way as well.

here's the star of the show: my six-month old nephew teddy, of course! 

i am smitten

 the good news: the kids re-discovered monopoly and entertained themselves quite well with it for hours and hours.

of course, it didn't occur to us to take a picture of the three cousins until we were literally halfway out to the car the day after thanksgiving.  back inside we came -- ratty monkey on one lap, monkey hat on the other head.  no wonder poor teddy is confused
