Turkey Day

John and I are extremely lucky in that we have both of our families local. Of course, that would pose a difficult challenge for most families, however, John's family are geniuses (genii??) and they make things easy on us (and everyone else in the family who has to share kids) and they celebrate the big holidays the Sunday prior to the holiday. This of course makes it possible to enjoy not one but two delicious turkey dinners. That makes out to a lot of pie making, but more on that later.

So for our Crawford family dinner, we all got together at John's family's house and ate to our hearts content. We also got to take many family shots. Here is our little family shot. Do you like how Ethan is screaming his head off and John and are are grinning away. I swear we love our child. Check out the spread!
The whole crazy gang...oops I mean Crawford gang
John and his brother Tim. You should see the two of them together. In this picture it looks like they're nice to each other, and so mature. That happens only in photos. Had you actually seen their interactions, they look like typical brothers, reverted back to the teen years.
And these are my gourds! Straight from the garden we planted this year. That's right a garden. We are totally grown-ups.

Ethan has this fantastic dimple on his right cheek. On his face...people!!! It's totally evident in this picture. Ethan is an expert at grinning from ear to ear. Oh yes, and melting hearts everywhere.
