Thanksgiving in the Desert

Brody's first Thanksgiving was spent in beautiful Arizona. We stayed at my folks' place in Surprise, AZ, and then drove up to Anthem, AZ to visit with Brody's cousin, Carys, Aunt Alissa, Uncle Ryan, and to have a wonderful turkey dinner at Grandma B's. Aunt Beverly from Virginia was also visiting, so we all had a great time as a family this year on Turkey Day. Brody tried turkey for the first time (wasn't too interested), and mashed potatoes (definitely NOT a favorite of his). Perhaps his favorite things to do this trip were hanging out with Carys, playing with golf balls at Grandma B's house, and tossing around my mother's ceramic pumpkins. Yes, he actually "tossed" one, and sure enough, it broke!

Hmm...what else can I break?

Perhaps Brody will actually want to help
with the dishes in the future!

Thanks for the pictures of the munchin. He seems so little compared to the dishwasher.
