A time of Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving meal, and Jared

was happy to be full after the feast.

Jared was overcome with joy, to have his favorite meal for Thanksgiving...

Rice cereal, yummm.

We were always taught not to play with our food, but it's

so much more fun to eat when you get to play too. Margaux

is playing tug-of-war with Jared and instead of using a rope,

they are playing with Jared's spoon.

It's a long standing tradition, that on Thanksgiving day, you don't

eat any breakfast or lunch. Jared was accused of snitching,

and in an effort to prove his innocence, can be seen as thus,

displaying the contents...or lack thereof...of his mouth.

Jared was SO glad when Aunt Katie came. Not

only did Aunt Katie tell him how absolutely

adorable he is, and take him on a trip to Nauvoo

but she also let him play the video games with her.

After being defeated on a particularly difficult level

Jared mourns the loss by eating the controller.

This is our living version of a Picasso...sort of. Okay maybe it is just a

picture of Jared, and Michael was tired of the flash going off in his face,

but the Picasso idea could work. You just have to have an abstract mind :)

One of the reasons Thanksgiving was so great was because Michael took a couple of (much needed) days off work. Margaux was grateful because for a few days, father and son could play during the daytime...instead of playing right before Jared's bed-time.
