The Robie Way: Thanksgiving 2012

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful day and have so much to be thankful for!

I took the day off Wednesday to help my mom get everything ready. I got to her house at about 8:30am and I didn't end up leaving until 4:30pm that afternoon. I never expected everything to take that long, but it was nice to get most everything done ahead of time.

Some of what we made...cranberry apricot chutney & green bean casserole

We are not really potty training yet, but we do let Brennen sit on his potty whenever he wants just to be getting used to it. Wednesday while we were at my mom's I was changing his diaper and he wanted to go sit on the potty. I asked my mom if he had ever actually went to the bathroom on the potty for her and she said no. He had never gone at our house either. But of course since I said that, sure enough he pee peed in the potty. I think I scared him half to death because I started cheering and he got this terrified look on his face. He hasn't done it again since, but like I said we are just letting him get used to the potty for awhile.

So proud of himself!

On Thanksgiving we took it easy and stayed home all day and went to my parent's house around 4pm where we had a great dinner! Ryan's parents went to Texas to visit family this year, so we only had to have one meal. It was nice not to have to indulge so much! We definitely missed spending the day with Ryan's family too and seeing his family that usually comes in town!

The start to our day...B wanted to wear his KU hat as soon as he woke up. We enjoyed some beer & football while B took his nap. We are keeping Ryan's parent's dogs while they are out of town. We aren't used to lap dogs, but they are good girls!
