Thanksgiving 2009

We had a busy weekend visiting family. This was the first really busy weekend we've had since Jacob was born but we all did well!

On Saturday we didn't have any plans so we ran some errands and then headed to Waterloo Park in the afternoon to burn off some energy.

This was taken just after Scott had to run down the hill to grab Logan before he ran right into the water...

Logan seems to have a new thing for crouching.

Walking on the boardwalk.

Chasing the ducks.

Stopping to smell the flowers.

Just hanging around. I think this one looks like an ad for something.

Wishing that the splash pad was open...longing for summer already.

Cute close up.

I love this picture. The bunny was likely disappointed though that all he was getting was a leaf.

One of Logan's favourites at the park.

Proof that Jacob was there too.

Riding the cow.

All three boys in bed later that day.

On Sunday morning we got up and headed out pretty early to to go church in London with my grandma. It was really nice to be there since my parents and my brother and sister were all there too. It's pretty rare that the whole family is together, so this was pretty cool.

I asked Logan if he wanted a waffle or cereal for breakfast. He answered waffle. When I was putting the waffle in the toaster, I guess he changed his mind and got the cereal down and started eating it...what a kid!

After church we headed back to grandma's where more of our extra family was joining us. Logan took a good nap and then joined us for the yummy Thanksgiving dinner, so good! After dinner, we prepared for dessert which is always eventful with the Dolsons. Everyone wants to make sure that they get dessert and lots of it. Grandma always has lots and it's so good, this holiday was no exception.

We use old beaters at my grandma's to hand whip the whipped cream. Here's dad showing how it's done.

Logan sitting with Uncle Scott making sure the cream is whipped properly.

Licking off the beaters...this must have been why he was sticking around. He loved this part!

Yummy!

We visited for a while longer and then headed home. We learned on the way home that if Jacob cries (screams) in the car and Logan is sleeping, Logan does not wake up. This is a very good thing that will likely come in handy in the future. It was such a great day and so nice to be with so many family members.

Sunday also marked Jacob's 1 month birthday. Time is sure flying by!


On Monday we hoped to maybe attend the Thanksgiving Day parade but decided to pass on it due to the early start that it has and how cold the weather was. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again next year.

Monday afternoon we headed to New Hamburg to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Miller side of the family. We took the opportunity to take some pictures of the three cousins together.

Poor Jacob. Joel looks like he has something to say. Logan just looks stunned.

Poor Jacob again. Joel looks terrified. Logan, still looks clued out. Ok, so maybe they need to be a bit older to get a good picture together!

Logan and Joel.

The boys and their daddies.

Take 2.

Scott was looking through some old photo albums at his mom's and Logan decided to join him. I took this picture because I thought they looked cute side by side looking together.

Phew, that was a lot. More to follow soon about Pamela's visit!
