The Year Claire Ruined Thanksgiving

well, not really, but it was amusing that's for sure!



thanksgiving 2012

here we are as a family

so grateful for them and all of the happiness they bring me

started the day by watching the parade

claire liked seeing all of the big balloons and watching the people sing

then, of course, it was football time

erik and claire sat on the couch together and enjoyed the games

(wish I would have taken a picture)

she likes to copy what erik says and also seeing the guys "fall down"

 

spent a wonderful afternoon at erik's aunt/uncle's house for dinner

food was delicious and claire had a ball playing with her cousins

she was so distracted that she had an accident (we are working on potty training)

changed her into outfit number two

 

time for dessert, my favorite part of the day

enjoyed some yummy pie and cookies

claire had accident number two, this time, it wasn't a potty accident

she reached over a coconut cream pie to get to some m&m's

down came the pie all over her, farfar, and her cousin abby

my first instinct? grab the camera of course! :)

 

farfar tried to save as much of the pie as he could

it was straight out of a Friends episode

(the one where Monica and Rachel eat cheesecake off of the floor)

didn't know I was going to need three changes of clothes for claire that day

thanks abby for letting claire wear your mermaid pajamas

 

erik rinsed off claire in the bathtub and we went on with the evening

glad I've reached a place where an event like that has no stressful effect on me

it was simply humorous and claire hasn't stopped talking about the day

when the pie fell and got all over her and "babby"

 

we definitely won't forget thanksgiving 2012
