Doubly thankful

"Why just have ONE Thanksgiving??? Don't we deserve more than just ONE day of gluttony?" If you've felt like this before, I have a simple solution for you. Have TWO Thanksgivings!

We spent the official holiday with David's family (awaiting great photos from Stacy to post here!). Cameron had a fantastic time playing with his cousins, who were very good-natured about entertaining a much younger child. Matthew never touched the ground as he was passed from admiring relative to admiring relative. "Well," we thought, "that was nice! Shall we do it again tomorrow?"

So, the next day we celebrated with my family! Cameron found an intellectual and emotional equal in his Uncle Zack.

And Grandpa Frank helped us out tremendously in achieving our goal of another trip to Urgent Care by encouraging a preschooler to stick things in his nose. Have we forgotten the unfortunate Googly Eye Incident, Grandpa?
We also enjoyed the company of our good friends Jess and Pat. (Hi Ellie! This photo is for you!)
One of the highlights of the evening was watching an old video of Zack and Andy performing an impressive dance/synchronized swimming routine. They were lookin' good in their fluorescent 80's swimwear. Zack had some rockin' moves and Andy made the most of his stylin' mullet, whipping his wet hair around after a particularly spectacular underwater flip. Here's Andy now, with a slightly updated look, playing Guitar Hero.

And everyone enjoyed boxing with the Wii, although I am appalled that my own father would cheer after knocking me out. Here, Nick takes on Tara.

So, today, we recover from the excessive pie consumption . . . times two.
