Ellie's first Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving last Sunday and Ellie is a big fan of the holiday! Lots of food, lots of people -- what's not to love?! We enjoyed a big turkey dinner with Gigi, Grandpa, Meme, Wilda (Meme's mom), Auntie Jamie, Uncle Eric and Cousin Alex. And Ellie loved entertaining all of us. She tried turkey for the first time and it did not go well. She buried her chin, blew a raspberry, and spit it out. Of course, we all burst into laughter and from that moment on, Ellie pretty much blew raspberries after every bite (even after bites of food that she normally loves). This doesn't quite capture it, but you get the idea and you can see cutie-pie Alex hamming it up for the camera:

Unfortunately, we waited too long to take pictures (it was almost bedtime when we started and Miss Ellie was about out of smiles), but I'm so glad we got pictures of the cousins in my grandpa's old recliner because we have a bunch of similar pictures of Jamie and me in the same chair:

"Paparazzi, please!"

I still get the giggles watching and remembering Ellie trying turkey! Sorry that we started a bad habit, but it was worth it... at least for us! :)
