Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, it's the day before Thanksgiving and Mommy and I are heading out to do some last-minute errands and shopping.  I've promised that I will be a big help today as I know there is lots to do to prepare for our turkey feast!

Daddy is presenting the bird that mommy cooked and he carved, a real team effort!  Our menu included herb-roasted turkey, cornbread sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, broccoli-cheddar casserole, cranberries, hot rolls and a few pies, even a sweet potato pie that mom made from scratch.  Daddy loves Thanksgiving so mommy went all out!

Here I am "eating" my turkey, which actually means throwing it on the floor...and mom and dad were not amused.  Let me explain: I was diagnosed the day before with yet another ear infection and just haven't been myself these last two days.  Nonetheless, our family had a great day together!

It is the day after Thanksgiving and the whole family is eager to get out of the house after a day of food and relaxation.  Though still a bit cranky (probably due to my 5AM wake-up time), I'm definitely feeling much better today.  Maybe I'll even consider having some lunch?...

We've finished our errands and are now back at home.  As you can see, I've started smiling again and even ate most of my lunch at Ginger Man.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I know I'm thankful for my mom and dad, for Gryffin and Bucky, for all my wonderful friends and for our home and family...what more could a girl need?  Love, Charlotte
