Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving!  The Sunday before, our plans changed.  Then the Monday before, our plans changed.  Then the Tuesday before, our plans changed to what we actually did.  Jon had to work from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (he was supposed to be off at 7:15 p.m.)  Originally, I was planning to just stay home and have a normal day on Thursday, and then we were have our Thanksgiving feast on Saturday when Jon was off work.  James, Jacob and I ended up going to the Richmonds home for most of the day.  It was a pretty relaxing day.  There was lots of good food!  James of coarse did not eat much.  Someday I will get him to eat when we are at other peoples houses.  James did have a lot of fun.  Jacob also enjoyed it, because he was held almost all day.  After dinner, we went for a hike at a nature center near their home. 

It was so nice to be outside and the weather was really nice.  James and his friend Sheridan.

Going out on the dock made me sick, because it moved.  I think my motion sickness is getting worse the older I get.  After our hike, we had dessert.  Yummy pies!  Here is a representation of the two pies I brought. 

This is all that was left a few days later when I took this picture.  I made two pumpkin pies, and one experiment pie.  I did not want to fill the pumpkin pies too full because then they would spill in the oven, and there was not enough filling for a third, so I did a pie that was layered.  Pumpkin pie on the bottom and cheesecake flavored pudding on the top.  It was actually pretty good.  I took the experiment pie and one of the pumpkin pies to the Richmonds.  After pie, we just relaxed, watched football and played games.  It reminded me a lot of being at my parents house for the holidays.  Here is James playing with the Legos. 

He had so much fun it was hard to get him to go home. We did have lots of fun, and we all slept well that night.  I just wish Jon could have shared the day with us.
