Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope you all enjoyed your festivities! And as for the Canadian contingent... Happy "Month After" Thanksgiving! What an awesome Thanksgiving here at the van Riessen home. My Nani flew down from Canada and I had a great visit with her. I was a little grumpy though and it looks like my last set of teeth (incisors) are coming in. So Nani got to see my "less happy" side. But we still had fun and she taught me all kinds of songs. I love it when she sings to me!

We were pretty busy her entire visit. Trips to the mall, toy store, zoo, factory outlets, restaurants, etc. And of course we enjoyed a taste of gluttony on Thanksgiving day, when we all went to Aunt Nancy and Uncle Fred's house for dinner. There were 11 adults and 5 kids there and they cooked TWO turkeys! There was enough food left over for another meal for sixteen people! Of course, I'm a little picky, so even with all that amazing food available, all I wanted to eat were Cheerios and raisins. Oh... and olives of course. But the meal was followed up with an unreal dessert buffet including your choice of pumpkin pie, apple pie, pumpkin squares, pumpkin cake, brownies, key lime pie and ice cream. So I made up for my small meal at dessert time. Yummy... Anyway, as it's Thanksgiving, I would like to give my list of things I'm thankful for:

1. God

2. my parents

3. my relatives

4. my pacifier

5. olives... oh, and ice cream...

Love you guys! Big Thanksgiving hugs sent your way!
