We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Rivera's house this year. Amy and Ariel had their house looking festive and the table looking great with gifts for all. The boys fried a turkey in the garage and we also had a turkey in the oven. Everybody brought a dish or two so needless to say, we had more than enough food. We were very fortunate to have grandma Marie and grandpa Bernie join us even with bad colds and not feeling great. We were thinking about grandma Joyce down in Florida enjoying the sunshine on her Thanksgiving day! It was Jacob's and Addie's first Thanksgiving. Jacob slept right through dinner (which mommy and daddy were thankful for) and Addie ate away in her highchair. She was a big fan of the rice that uncle Ariel made. Haley, Logan, and Kelsey enjoyed their meals at the kiddy table. We all ate too much then managed to find room for pie. Keep your eyes open for the 2008 addition of World Records because mom and Amy broke the world record for cleaning the kitchen and dinning room in the fastest time. We were all so proud! To end the perfect meal, we all vegged on the couches and watched football. Some even got a quick cat nap in before leaving for round 2 at other relatives' houses. Here are some pictures from our day...
