What a Thanksgiving Weekend!!!

I am finally updating all of you about our eventful Thanksgiving weekend. We had a very quiet Thanksgiving day...Steve had to work, his mom had to work and his sister's kids were at their dad's house. So, we celebrated our Thanksgiving on Friday. We had a great meal and lots of fun, as you will see from the pictures below. Saturday brought Christmas decorating and an end-of-season soccer party for Ally at the swimming pool. The girls had a great time!
Sunday was more decorating and then...WHAM!!! AJ had his accident. We were getting ready to leave for Costco, when we heard a "thud"! He came running, crying and blood gushing from his forehead (sorry). He was messing around and "fell" off the couch and hit his head on our glass coffee table. I knew right away he would need stitches. So, off to the ER we went...us and many, many sick and strange people. So, 4 hours later AJ had 7 stitches in his head!

I did not get any pictures of the actual wound, but I am sure most of you would appreciate that. I, however, was loving watching the doctor "sew" up the area! Pretty cool. We could even see 2 tiny veins running through the wound! :) His scar may not be too bad....it is not right up to the hairline, but close. If he wore his hair longer, I think you would never see it. The stitches are the dissolving kind, so they are harder to see.



AJ was not so happy to be having his picture taken. But he was a good sport. He had no tears at the ER...he was very brave!


Thanksgiving!

Here we are getting the turkey ready. The women in the kitchen, as usual.



The girls peeling potatoes....there may have been more peel on the floor than actually in the trash can!


The boys doing what they do best....nothing!!!:)


And here is the star! Our beautiful turkey!!!



Oh! and here is the whole family before we ate the bountiful feast! It was yummy!!!
