Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving morning - coloring with Grandpa

This was the first time Eli used markers. Luckily they were washable because he had marker all over his hands.

Davey (Uncle Munkle) looking stuff up online... he's always looking for a play or concert to go to

Eli's Thanksgiving day haircut - his hair was pretty shaggy!

Even with the lollipop bribe, Eli wasn't loving the haircut, as usual

Later, some of us went to the park on the lakefront while the food was still cooking. Here's Abbie and Hannah on the playground:

Later, Ben carving the 22-lb turkey - it was delish!

My dad gave Eli a spoonful of whip cream - he LOVED it...

After stuffing ourselves with way too much food, we headed over to the bowling alley. A family in our ward rented the space for the night and lots of families came - it was so fun! Eli had a blast dancing to the music (I wish I had a video because he had some serious dance moves :) I got lots of bowling ball comments (in reference to my huge belly) and did my best to bowl, but it wasn't so easy being this pregnant.
