FIrst Thanksgiving as a Family of 4!








We headed down to Sharon to share our 2009 Thanksgiving with Emmy and Sabba--Oscar Kitty too, Auntie Sam and Uncle Derek, and Lynn and Doug Johnston. The ride took a bit longer than we would have planned on, stopping in Reading to feed Maya, then in Westwood to change Maya's diaper and soothe Jenna (with some D.D. munchkins and a baby doll to hold!) We arrived and the girls immediately were swept up in the excitement--Jenna playing rounds of baby with her new toys from Emmy and Sabba and Maya sleeping peacefully in her grandparents' arms.

The meal was choppy for the 4 of us, taking turns eating/changing/feeding/playing, but when asked the following morning about Jenna's favorite part of Thanksgiving, she immediately shared "EAT!" Her favorite foods appeared to be the ever traditional "mac cheese" and some of Emmy's bread. She did polish the meal off with some of the delicious fruit Lynn and Doug brought and the trifle mommy made.

The ride home was sprinkled with an extra stop in Westwood yet again, but at a gas station--to feed Maya. Jenna fell asleep about 15 minutes into the ride home and slept soundly, despite Maya's "attempts to rouse her!"

Next year will be a new adventure-as it always is... FUN TIMES! We have SO much to be thankful for!
