Thanksgiving Highlights

I know I'm a little behind, but our thanksgiving memories were too special not too share with everyone! We had a great time visiting with family and of course being back in good ol' Louisiana!


Every year for thanksgiving we always attempt to cook the turkey a different way. My mom came up with the "great idea" of doing our turkey trash can style. That's right folks... TRASH CAN TURKEY!! translation: Redneck smoker.



Matt attempting to "get the fire going" haha



Looks like it worked!!



I must admit....it tasted DELICIOUS!



Amelia had her fun too! She was tempted and lured by all those grandma's to taste the table food. I stood my ground and somehow managed to protect her from all those fingers dipped with thanksgiving delights!.....Well almost all of them... my brother managed to stick a finger full of turkey gravy right into her mouth. Fortunatly, the camera wasn't far out of site and I was able to catch her first taste on video!!



Needless to say... I think she liked it!









Our little Amelia is 6 months old now and last time we checked she weighed in at 15 lbs. & 26" long! She is sitting up great with very little help! She has started to learn some new baby babbles this month. In the words of Amelia "ba ba dah dah ba"! Sounds like she will learn to say da-da before ma-ma *sigh* I did all the work and get none of the credit! =)
