Thanksgiving ‘09

Pop Pop and Holly came to visit for Thanksgiving and of course Aston couldn’t be more thrilled.  The morning after they arrived the three of them took a walk across the street to get French Toast take-out from Delancy Street Deli…which is becoming routine when Pop comes to visit:)DSC_0501

On Thanksgiving Eve we went to see the Bobcats beat the Raptures at Bobcats arena.  We met BB, Babs, Tai Grandma, and Tai Yeh there and had the suite to ourselves so there was no pressure to contain Mr. A the whole time…DSC_0546

Babs watching the game with the 2 crazies:)DSC_0558DSC_0561

On Thanksgiving morn Jeff, Pop, Jay Jay and I decided we needed some exercise before sitting down at BB’s dinner table.  We took the kiddies out to the Greenway for a little run/walk and people watching.  DSC_0591DSC_0579

Aston was excited to see that the ducks were there…DSC_0594

Stell was passed out by the end and A was wound up…ready to climb this tree in the Trader Joe’s parking lot…DSC_0609DSC_0604

Aston made this headdress…he has never been so proud of something he’s created at school.  In fact he would still be wearing it today if it didn’t already fall apart:(DSC_0615 DSC_0618 DSC_0612DSC_0611

Jumped right into his Mercedes when he got to BB and Babs…DSC_0630DSC_0635

“Who me, couldn’t be?” There was a little people finger print in Aunt Regina’s chocolate cake before dinner…I mean could there be more evidence pointing to the suspect?DSC_0643

Stelly and Aunt Wo Wo were joined at the hip! Made for a nice Thanksgiving for Mommy:)  Thanks Wo Wo!…DSC_0644

Stelly the Snork:  Mei’s first pony tail…again…thanks Wo WoDSC_0649DSC_0650DSC_0703

Partners in Crime…aka…The Old People…aka…Aunt Regina and Babs:)DSC_0702

Stell Hangin’ out with her Great Grands…Tai Yah and Tai GrandmaDSC_0652

Aston’s first Thanksgiving in a “big boy seat”…DSC_0655

Aston’s “Thankful For…Aston” speech…such a ham:)  Take note of Aston’s dinner plate…it was made by Jeff when he was like 5…many many moons ago…Aston prefers to use it when he goes to BB’s house.

My attempt at a Christmas Card Photo…DSC_0662

Stell may have to go solo this year…DSC_0666DSC_0709DSC_0698DSC_0685

LEFT: The dessert spread…seemed to go on for miles. Regina made 2 cakes (carrot and chocolate) and Leslie’s family made like 3 pies, some fabulous Splenda cheesecake and cookies and Beebs (as Asty calls her) made a delish apple cream pie.  RIGHT: My failed attempt to get a good picture of Cousin Sean (Jeff’s cousin who is 10 days younger than Jeff and WAY taller:)). My fault because I handed him Stell when she was over tired and a super crank monster. Sean recently moved to the DC area from California so it was a treat to have him for Thanksgiving this year.DSC_0715DSC_0725

Still up at 10pm and on his way back inside after taking Holly out to “do her business”…Aston and Stell had a major case of the sillies when we got back home…DSC_0727
