Daxton is walking all over the place already!! HE's got places to go! haha! Poor guy had a little trip to the E.R. after dinner. He wiggled right out of Todd's arms and onto the tile kitchen floor right on his little noggin. Thankfully he was just fine and dandy but got a bonus with a CAT scan.
Dang it! I made the pictures go backwards again. One of these days I will get it right. WE had Thanksgiving at Susan and Todd's house this year. It was GREAT! Jeremy and I got there about 11AM or so and we ate at 1:30. We had a ton of food.....my mom forgot the sweet potatoes this year! WTF? It's okay...I survived. But, I didn't like it. Oh well.
I made 4 trays of lil smokies, spinach dip, custard pie, pecan coconut pie, turtle bars, green bean casserole, baked macaroni, peanut blossom cookies, and molasses cookies. I made too much! Sherri made these awesome rice krispie bear treats, mmmmm good! And a yummy apple pie that I need the recipe for....and some homemade stuffing (sweet!).
Vicki made a pumpkin cake shaped like a turkey! Somehow I forgot to get a picture of that! It was really cute and tasted good too!
Maxine made the pumpkin roll that was amazing as always!
Mark made butter that was way better than normal butter....out of cream!
And Susan bought lots of yummy treats too, haha!
Anyway, we had a good crowd. Mark and Karina came down from Chicago with their family. David and Sherri and three of their boys made it. Me, Vicki and Dan, Robert, Kendall and Joanne and their kiddies, Mike and Maxine, and Randy. Six of us Trapp kids! WOW!

Kaden.....taking a snooze.
Cedric and Keelie
Yes, there was even cornhole in the bitter cold. The men donned the layers and braved the cold for a few games. Some of the kids too. I stayed inside nice and warm.
Keelie and Landon coloring. We played games too. The boys really liked Jenga with uncle Mike!
Eleni, Reagan, Taylor
Curt, Brad, Jeff (sporting his w00t!PC shirt!) We miss having Jeff around at the store!
Cullen, Keelie, and Kaden playing underneath the table.
A whole mess of us!

I love Thanksgiving!!! I think I might love it more than Christmas. Maybe. Maybe not quite. But, it's always fun! I think it's because Thanksgiving always starts the day before with prepping the food, then Thanksgiving day is fun-filled with food, games, movies, etc....then you get to stay up all night and the next day shopping (usually), then the next day is Saturday and then Sunday.....it isn't until Monday that things have to go back to normal. So from Wednesday until Sunday it's full of family fun! Love it!
So, we almost spent the night at Sue's but then Liam threw up about 10:30 so I brought all the little ones home. It was great though, my mom started telling her classic Bunny Foo Foo story to the boys in their sleeping bags and air mattress on the floor. That story changes every single time....but the moral of the story is the same every time. Hare today, Goon tomorrow.
