Caleb's First Thanksgiving

For Caleb's first Thanksgiving, we headed down to Houston to be with Daddy's family.  Caleb had a great time playing with Nana and Gramps and Great Grandpa Lou, and Uncles David and Nathan, but probably the most exciting part of Nana and Gramps' house was Shauna the cat with her very fluffy tail (sorry no pictures of that).

On Thanksgiving Day we headed over to Elter Bubbe's for a morning visit.  Caleb enjoyed sitting with her and eating all of her food (of course). Grammy came over to play too!

Then we headed back to Nana and Gramps' house for a short nap.  After that, it was Turkey Time!  All of Nana's family came over, and for many of the cousins, this was their first time meeting Caleb.

Caleb loved Gramps' turkey and all of Nana's yummy dishes.  After we finished our first dinner, it was time to head back over to Elter Bubbe's for our second dinner of the evening!  Of course, this required a second "First Thanksgiving" outfit too (I already gave you a sneak peak because some of the above photos were taken just before we left Nana & Gramps')!

Happy Turkey Day!


Wrestling with Elter Bubbe

Elter Bubbe was very brave!  She let Caleb play with her toys!
On Friday we went out to a park near Nana and Gramps' house and Caleb played with Ms. Sarah's dog!

Yummy Challah Rolls - Like Father, Like Son
On Saturday we met up with Cousins Cary and Kim since we weren't able to see them on Thanksgiving.  Caleb enjoyed a variety of foods - this was a gluttonous weekend for him!

Almost too short for the table

Hooray for Cousins!

On Sunday after saying goodbye to Nana and Gramps, we met for lunch with Grammy, Grandpa Kim, and Elter Bubbe before hitting the road back to Dallas.

Hi Nana!

This is one stuffed baby!
So after a long weekend filled with almost excessive amounts of food (if such a thing is possible for Caleb), we left Houston behind.  Caleb slept pretty well on the drive home.  He was probably digesting his own body weight in turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and so many other yummy things.  I think that is how much he ate over the weekend.  Armed with challah and bagels, we made our way home.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
