Happy Thanksgiving!

Leah says "Gobble Gobble". We had a busy Thanksgiving this year. Once again we had a wonderful, delicious dinner with all the trimmings at Grandma and Grandpa's. Ruth puts together a huge dinner flawlessly and perfectly every year. We are definitely grateful for that!

Leah played with her cousins Karen and David, hung out with her Great-Grandmother Bernice (AKA Nana), had some cuddling time with Lindsay and tons of kisses from Michelle (who I owe some empanadas), Helene (who's name Leah says so eloquently) and Gary (who from some reason she kept calling Marc). I guess she realized Marc wasn't there so she was making up for it.

Then it was time to eat and Leah was cranky so I took her downstairs to play and relax for a while, changed her diaper as well. Useless thing to do! I went upstairs to try and get some yummy food and Matt was with Leah...when Leah went and exploded all over herself. *sigh* Gotta love being a mom! Lindsay assisted me in getting Leah all cleaned, she got a bath and everything. Quite an eventful evening.

Afterwards we left in the pouring rain for the Bronx to visit with my family. We got to spend some time with Leilani, Keith and Kain. Kain is such a lovable and sweet boy. He gave us tons of hugs and kisses. He played very nicely with Leah. Together they danced the night away. Jenny and her boyfriend Edwin was also there. Jenny is Leilani's sister-in-law and one of our closest family friends. It was great to have everyone together. After we ate some more! We hung out and then headed back to Long Island.

I should've brought my camera but didn't so no pics of all of us together. Just means we have to get together again soon.
