Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Justin and Marguerite Sellers, friends from MI, drove all the way out to see us. Marguerite and I managed to create a pretty yummy feast. This was my first turkey and I was very nervous. It was 19 pounds! I know, a little excessive for only 4 people, but I could pick out any turkey for free up to 21 pounds, so why not!

Here is a pic. of Marguerite and I (and 27 week old baby). We were quite proud.
Aylah ready to chow down and eat. (We only have 4 chairs so she was relegated to the floor) Our Thanksgiving Feast before we ate.

MMMM, yummy turkey. Not quite done yet but I got excited to take a picture.

So we basically ate lots of food, took a few walks to show the Sellers around our neighborhood and city and spent a day in New York City. We had a great time and were glad we could spend the holiday with people we loved. I wasn't feeling any homesickness, I think because we had such great company. I am excited to head to MI on the 15th, though, to spend some extra time with my family and see a certain very great friend of mine who I haven't seen since August 2007!

Yesterday Aylah walked into the living room and handed Josh a diaper and said "It's poop." Josh just laughed and was like "yeah right." But then I walked in and noticed that she really did smell. So this was the first time Aylah announced to us she needed a diaper change. She also has a new favorite word "NO." Josh likes to ask her things like "Do you want a cookie?" "Do you want money?" "Do you want a car?" "Do you want a boyfriend?" And she always answers, "No." He jokes that he needs to get all of it down in writing.
