Happy Thanksgiving!

Mom asked what I am thankful for this year, and nearly cried when I replied "my brother".  Then she nearly cried again when she found my very first official Thanksgiving picture from 2008: 

Good luck getting Little Man to sit still long enough for any official Thanksgiving picture!
Our holiday was close to perfect, especially when the "BEEP BEEP VROOM VROOM" showed up next door! Our neighbor is friends with the local firefighters, so they let us look at the truck close up.
Ryan was obsessed, he loves those Beep Beeps.
We got to play outside, collecting "squirrel hats" (acorn tops) and "balls" (acorns).  Ryan thinks everything is a ball... grapes, blueberries, raspberries, dog food.
Mom worked nights this week so she had a good excuse for not cooking this year.
We ordered an awesome dinner from one of our favorite restaurants, so all we had to do was make was the whipped cream for the pumpkin pie. 
We were sad that Dad couldn't do his annual apple pie, but Ryan and I were happy enough with the whipped cream by itself.
Mag and Mox seemed content with juicy restaurant turkey instead of homemade.  They agreed that this was a good day to reflect on all of our blessings.
