Apples and Turkey - Oh My!!

Momstown mamas went to Chudleigh's apple farm on friday.  We (and our friends Jaci and Nathan) hit the slides, had a wagon ride, picked some apples and saw some animals.




Nathan and Drew

Drew had a great time with Nathan and Hunter tired himself out trying to keep up with them.  They literally didn't stop running (except while they were sitting on the wagon ride) the whole time.

Both my boys really seemed to like picking apples.  Jaci taught them all how to pick them properly and they both had apples in their hands, sampling the produce while they worked. 





Hunter hadn't napped the entire morning.  We went to McDonald's for lunch and he fell asleep while he was eating.  He had his eyes closed while putting food in his mouth.  It's hard being one.

Yesterday, we had James' family over for thanksgiving dinner.  We served turkey with all the trimmings.  James did the turkey on the bbq (seriously, the easiest and fastest way to cook a turkey.  It's the only way we'll do it now, and it frees up the oven to do lots of fun "sides". 

It was nice to have everyone here.  To hear the kids playing and having fun and to be able to have a couple glasses of wine and just relax for a bit.  Nice to reconnect with everyone.  I have these great memories of holiday meals with all my grandparents from when I was a kid.  It's really important to me to give these memories to my kids.
