Thanksgiving 2010

Over the toll road and across the turnpike, to Grammy and Grandpa's we went! The Nugget talked a big game about eating turkey and pumpkin pie, basically for all of November. When he actually saw it on his plate, he passed. He did like the ham, rolls, cranberry sauce, black cherry jello, and cousin K's pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes.

The Nugget and I worked on a thankful chain all month. He cut the strips of paper, dictated to me what he was thankful for, and we taped them together with double sided tape. I'd like to do this each year and will include Lil' Sib when he becomes verbal too. Here's what made the cut for the Nugget's Thankful Chain 2010 Edition:

rocketships

pilots

jumbo jets

airplanes (technically he said airplanes, more airplanes, blue airplanes, gray airplanes, but I cut him off after airplanes and jumbo jets)

trains

tractors (do you sense a theme emerging?)

macaroni

wombats

marching bands

gym bus

teachers

zebras

Grammy and Grandpa

Grover

elephants

toys

playing outside

paper chains

music

sad things (I asked him to elaborate, and he just kept repeating, "the sad things")
