Thanksgiving/Birthday!!

We have had an awesome Thanksgiving/Birthday today!!

Our prep started yesterday. My sous-chef loves to help cooking!!

Washing potatoes:

Crushing (and eating) cookies for crust:

Feeling a little camera-shy:

This morning, we woke up and got to participate in a local 5k to help contribute and raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer. Booooo, cancer!! Uncle Mikey, Daddy, and E all got to run while mommy took pictures.

There was a "1k" for kids and E was a champ. He was the youngest by at least a year, but couldn't have been more enthusiastic bringing up the rear! He was full-speed ahead!!


About to cross the finish line:

Showing off their medals:

We spent the rest of the day celebrating and eating (!!) with Uncles Mikey and Daniel.

E seemed to do great with the concept of birthday and Thanksgiving all happening together. We celebrated a little throughout the day, and will have his party this weekend to celebrate more!

Dinner:

And we couldn't end the night without at least a little fanfare ... I think he was a little confused why we were handing him fire after making a big deal about never touching fire. Nothing says birthday like ice cream with sprinkles and marshmallows!!


We have so much to be thankful for, especially our little 2-year-old! We couldn't love him more!!
