I spent the majority of Thanksgiving morning cooking (and drinking) while the boys enjoyed the new swing. This year, I cracked open Julia Child's Art of French Cooking to prepare her garlic mashed potatoes. This Thanksgiving marked what would have been Ms. Child's 100th birthday!
Table setting complete...
We had our neighbors, the Wiley Family, over for the Thanksgiving feast. They had a small change of plans for the holiday and happily accepted our invitation. The Wileys have two boys, Liam (2) and Colin (5), and we do lots of child care swapping! Look at Jack's expert turkey skills...
Colin and Walker await their bird and potato plates.
Today, Charlie and I met Lori for our standing Monday physical therapy appointment and I took a few shots of seasonal color around the garden.
We also had a chance to put up our Christmas tree yesterday morning. This year, we've moved our tree from the living room to the front window in the dining room. Why not share the season with the whole neighborhood?
Unfortunately, all wonderful weekends must come to a close. And today, we got a call from Walker's preschool. He was sick with an ear infection and needed to come home immediately. Jack left work and retrieved the patient. Here he is, crashed out in our bed with his beloved stuffed Dalmatian, Chowder. Don't worry, we've already got him on a round of antibiotics. He'll be ship-shape in no time!

Thanks for the swinging, picture filled Thanksgiving post. T'is the season for the Tree (front room great idea) and the season for cold etc. bugs. Even with an ear infection, he looks so cozy with his buddy, Chowder. Here's to healthy soon!!! xoxo
Poor Walker. That's not a fun way to end the Thanksgiving holiday. Betsy is right, he does look pretty cozy. Charlie looks pretty cozy in his sling swing too. What a cool place to hang out. Hugs to you all.
