Turkey Day Monkeyshines

Well, we made it safe and sound to North Carolina - braving the planes, trains and automobiles - and we ended up at uncle Warren and aunt Leslie's house for the annual Thanksgiving extravaganza.



We ended up hanging around at the airport for quite a while, so we spent some time watching some of our favorite videos with Grandpa Monty and walking around looking at the airplanes.








When we landed, aunt Susie was waiting at the Raliegh airport to pick us up and off we went to our party. All of our cousins, aunts, uncles and significant others were there - it was amazing!





Since it was 75 degrees and sunny in beautiful Carolina, we spent much of the afternoon before the feast playing outside (kids display pack/herd behavior).








Later we all played inside with the whole family.











At last it was time to strap on the feed bag, and what a feast it was!



Miranda wore her special new party dress, and she looked very beautiful as you can see for yourself.

We lost the pretty black tights after the first diaper change but she refused to take the dress off until she was practically asleep.

After dinner we all hung out and digested. The good news was that this made room for the multitude of tasty pies that magically appeared, so we indulged in desert. There was pumpkin, apple and several other pies, as well as various cookies and other tasty treats.

Stay tuned for more Carolina Monkeyshines.
