Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone- this is Tessa. I wanted to tell you about the past couple of days in my house. At first I thought my parents were neglecting me because they didn't play with me much. Mommy was cleaning and Daddy was cooking and making pies. I tried to tell them there was plenty of food here but they had to make ALOT.

Then yesterday our house was all full of people....my cousins, second cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles. It was alot of fun, but made me really tired! Last night I was so cranky that Mommy even let me sleep in bed with her- yay!

Mommy set both the tables with pretty plates I had never seen..

Then after Daddy had cooked for hours and hours it was time to eat...

I had pureed turkey and sweet taters, and Mommy let me taste cheeseball and spinach dip- yum!

And everyone was very happy....

And we all played and visited until we were worn out. Maybe next year I can run around and wrestle too?

Today we went a town called Metamora where they have lots of little stores outside. It was cold but I was really bundled up. I hate it when Mommy puts those things on my hands, they're so confusing!

While we were there we saw some family again. Here's Uncle Andy with my cousins Mark and Bob. Mommy said this picture belongs in a frame...
