Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was such a pretty day! We stayed here in Birmingham because Jason only got the one day off and had to be at work bright and early Friday morning.

We went over to Pap and GiGi's and stuffed ourselves with all the good fixins including apple and pecan pie straight from the Orchard!

After dinner, we enjoyed time just hanging out and watching movies. We caught a James Bond marathon (Paps favorite). During one of the movies, Pap said, "Oh look....that's Halle Berry" , Leland immediately responded clear as day with, "Halle Berry"!! We all died out laughing and that is his new phrase! He can also say John Deere tractor, but will typically just say, "Tracta" when you ask him to say John Deere.

We have a little English boy! He still calls me Ma Mum. Pap has been doing a lot of work over in England, so each time he goes, he brings Leland a goody back. So far, he has gotten a cute little rugby jersey, a British flag, and a t-shirt. He loves to wear them and knows exactly who gave them to him. Everytime he puts one of the shirts on, he says, "Pap"!

His flag is now hanging in his room because this smart little 2 year old quickly figured out that this was a "stick" with a pointy object at the end...not a good combination!

We hope everyone had a great, relaxing Thanksgiving! We are so busy the entire month of December with work. Both Jason and I can't wait to have a relaxing Christmas at home!
