Thanksgiving Day

For the first time in our married life, Gunnar and I did not spend Thanksgiving in San Diego. The reason for this being that after the death of my grandma, earlier this year, we all felt like going to spend Thansgiving at my grandpa's house was the best call. My whole family went up and it was a great day and a half of being together, eating and hanging out.

Elizabeth pretty much LOVED being held for two days straight. It has been rough coming home and not having constant open arms to hold her.
Auntie Ann got in on some of the fun.
Grace loves being at my grandpas house and runs around like a crazy girl. She doesn't nap, but we can usually talk her into having a little down time.
Gunnar and my dad and Grandpa enjoyed watching football almost ALL day. I didn't mind though becuase if the TV must be on, I find football to usually be less offensive than a lot of other stuff. Besides, I think they enjoyed it.
Elizabeth partook of the nap time, although not so much actual football watching.
Grace loved spending lots of time with Grandma Ta.
I made all three of the girls little thanksgiving shirts. Elena and Grace only wore theirs after the main meal time, as we wanted them to keep them clean so we could take their pictures. I don't have a lot of those pictures, as they were taken with Michael's camera, but at least here is a good shot of Elizabeth's shirt.
Grace loves my Grandpa so much, it is super cute to watch them interact. At one point she went up and whispered in his ear. I think she wanted to give the dogs treats or something.
Grandpa whispered back "I can't hear what you are saying."
So, she told him in a loud voice.
My aunt Kelly isn't really a baby person. But Ellie, sweet as she is won her over to the dark side. Way to go, Elizabeth.
On our outing to get pictures of the girls in their matching shirts, I only got a couple pictures with my camera.

Finally, we had dessert. Grace doesn't usually get much dessert, so she was super excited. Quite possibly too excited to use a fork. Maria, who regularly does eat dessert, was still excited.
