Sorry for all the pictures, but I can't stop myself and this is really two huge celebrations in one!
Daddy made a perfect turkey on his first try ever.
Eli's first Thanksgiving dinner - last year, we were in the hospital because he was born the night before Thanksgiving. This year, he ate turkey, sweet potatoes, carrots, stuffing, and he LOVED cranberry sauce.
Eli wore a bit of what he was eating. The piece of turkey fell off his forehead as I took this picture.
You can see he was showing us he was one! His other fingers got cut off, but I swear he was copying Auntie Heather!
Jacob had to stand guard at the kitchen door. Reggie, who is allergic to turkey, started to eat it off the table in the kitchen!
Then it was time for presents. Eli's first present was from his Auntie Heather, Uncle Joe, and Jacob and Jillian. It was a Cozy Coupe! He loved to explore it and Jacob and Jillian had fun playing in it with him.
We opened some more presents.
Baba, Zayda, Uncle Josh, and Stephanie came over and we sang and had some cake.
After cake, a bath was required! A very tired Eli opened some more presents and then went to bed. What a busy first birthday and Thanksgiving!
