A nice long weekend.....

Our Thanksgiving started off with a delicious mid-day meal with Jeff's family.

Jeff's cousin, Shelly, recently had a baby so it was a real treat to meet the little doll. Seeing Bryce and Graham next to each other makes Graham look like such a big boy! I predict that next year, these two little boys will have a ball running around getting into things on Thanksgiving! It's amazing to both Jeff and I how fast Graham is growing.


After our we left the Olson's we began our journey to Spooner. We timed the drive with Graham's nap schedule which worked out perfectly. Graham slept for the entire two hour ride which meant he was in a great mood when we arrived! Graham looked like such a big boy sitting in his booster chair and eating off his pilgrim plate. He was pretty proud of himself that he was able to feed himself finger food off of a real plate at the table while everyone else ate their meal.

The chair is finally filled!!! This chair sat empty for a long time in Spooner. Then, on June 29, when we got Graham's referral picture, we taped it on the chair. Finally, on Thanksgiving, the chairs rightful owner was able to make use of it. We thought Graham looked pretty cute in his pj's and Santa hat sitting in his rocking chair.


Graham enjoyed pounding on the coffee table!



Mohawk Man!

Graham has moved onto chapter books...."Eat, Pray, Love" to be exact!


Having dinner at our favorite place in Spooner-The Spooner Market and Grill. After our difficult meal at the Mall of America last week, I was a little apprehensive to take Graham out for dinner. He was terrific though! We were actually able to "dine" rather than shovel the food into our mouths as quickly as possible. We sat at the table for over an hour and Graham did a great job! Notice the plaid shirt....that's in honor of the being up in the north woods....I felt that there was never going to be a more appropriate location for plaid flannel!


As we were getting ready to leave the lake and come home, we started cleaning the fridge out. Jeff was finishing off the leftover pumpkin pie and I noticed that Graham was staring at it. I figured that since the pie is already the consistency of baby food, why not let him try it. All I have to say is that Graham LOVES pumpkin pie! He was not too happy when I said he'd had enough. I really think he would have eaten the entire piece had I let him!
