I figured that since Christmas is only a week away, it's probably about time I posted some pictures from Thanksgiving ;)
Our Thanksgiving day started out eventfully, with James getting a big bump on the head. He was sitting at the top of our stairs, and decided to stick his legs in his shirt and pretend to be an egg. I heard a little voice say, "Look, Mommy, I'm an egg!" and before I could reach him he was rolling down the stairs, head first. I got to the bottom of the stairs as his head smacked right into the tile floor at the bottom. Poor boy! He got a pretty good goose egg on his head and was pretty scared. Jonathan used his one-semester optometry skills to check James' pupil sizes and see if he had a concussion (which he didn't!)
We then headed off to a nearby field where a large group of guys from our ward were playing football. We sat on the grass and visited with some of the wives and kids while the men played. I am so grateful to be in a ward with SO many medical students and residents - I took James over to one of the residents and said, "is my son's head ok???" :)
We had a wonderful day being together and skyping with family. Here are my boys playing Mario Kart with some of the Boster men in Oregon. Thank you, technology!

A shot of James' bump on the head...
This was my first time making the ENTIRE Thanksgiving meal all by myself - and I have to say that it turned out really well!! We cooked a small turkey breast instead of a big turkey, and it was delicious.
And of course, true to Boster tradition, we had a pretty good pie-to-person ratio.
James enjoys some pie with his favorite stuffed animal buddy, Pongo.
We ended the day by watching "White Christmas" - sticking to the Gibbons family Thanksgiving tradition! Let the Christmas season begin!
We are so blessed :)
