Jay-R's Thanksgiving Feast
Jay-R was looking rather thoughtful on our car ride to his grandparents' house on Thanksgiving Day. He had talked about Thanksgiving at school, we had talked to him about it, and we had read books. Still, we think he was trying to process what it was all about. He was excited about eating turkey and pumpkin pie. At our first Thanksgiving dinner....Jay-R's Thanksgiving feast consisted of: turkey, a roll, and a banana. For dessert, he sampled pumpkin pie only to find that he strongly disliked it. (I don't blame him!) At the second Thanksgiving feast at the other grandparents' house, his feast consisted of: turkey, grapes, corn, and blue corn chips. He did have a blast playing with all his cousins, though, even if he didn't get excited about stuffing, sweet potatoes, and pie. Friday night, we attended the parade of lights at a local town and he loved all the floats with lights. His favorite was the port-a-potty that a local rental company put over a zero radius mower. It was zipping all over the place and got quite the laugh from Jay-R! We are looking forward to one more day of Thanksgiving vacation before we all head back to work and school. I promise to post pictures from this weekend soon!

Hi Allison Family-I wanted to touch base with you and let you know that we've appreciated reading your supportive comments on our blog. Pumpkin pie wasn't a real big hit with our guys either. Jay-R is certainly a handsome young guy. Hope your last day of Thanksgiving break is enjoyable. Lori - Pickle Family News
Sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jay-R sounds like he enjoyed an interesting combinations of food during the holiday. The port-a-potty float sounds pretty cool. It msut have been great to get such a laugh out of Jay-R.
Every first is so much fun. I'm glad that he got to try so many foods and see what the holiday is really about...food and family:)
Also, can you give me Lori's blog address some time. I used to be in touch with her a lot before she went to get her kids.
