Our Thanksgiving Break started on Wednesday when we got off early. Chantz got home around 2 which is when I left work. When we got home we played and cleaned up the house a little in preparation for the next day and then we went to Guadalajaras to eat dinner. I love this restaurant. They have the best mexican food!!! Dalton decided to try salsa out for the first time here tonight....
He LOVED it!!! I thought for sure he would've spit it out, but instead all he would do is dip the chip into the salsa and lick the salsa off and never even take a bite of the chip. He is so funny!!! Then we went home and Uncle Aaron and his girlfriend Lauren came over. They were trying to help us make Dalton's turkey hands.
Dalton did not want to cooperate for this very well.
He wanted to do everything himself and did not like when I tried to help him put the paint on his hands.
Oh look how thrilled he is to do this ha!!
They ended up coming out very cute though so it was well worth it.
Aaron THINKS Lauren is his girlfriend but really she is Dalton's. Dalton just loves her and everytime she comes around us he's always trying to steal her from Uncle Aaron.
He loves Uncle Aaron though too that's why he is giving him kisses on his back while he's sleeping:)
Then it was time to go take a bath and get a good night's rest for all the craziness that was going to happen in the morning. Mommy and Daddy stayed up very late tending to the turkey. The turkey unfortunately was so big that it wasn't thawed out all the way so we had to sit soaking it and gutting it that night. YUCK is all I can say. Thank goodness Chantz did all of the gutting because I almost threw up looking at it. Mommy was in panic mode because I thought it was all going to be destroyed but luckily my Uncle Robert said he would come over early in the morning to help me cook everything since it was my first year.
Dalton was so excited that when he woke up Uncle Rob was there to see him and spend time with him. Thank goodness he was there because he's such a great cook that all the food came out perfect and tasted wonderful!!! The turkey ended up looking beautiful and tasting amazing so it all worked out:)
While I was getting ready Dalton had to of course put his make up on too!!! Ha, Dalton I don't think the eye liner goes inside your ear silly;)
Then was time to just chill out and relax while everything was cooking and we were waiting for everyone to come over.
Dalton was making the funniest faces and putting his shoulders way up in the air posing for the camera:):):)
Uncle Aaron came over early to help us too or should I say help Chantz by sitting in the living room and both of them watching TV while I slaved over the oven.
Then was John John...He is so goofy he is rooting for Texas meanwhile he has his thumbs up ummm hello John John thumbs up is the Aggies symbol haha.
Then everyone else made their way to the house. We had a full house of 16 people there. We all had a great time and Dalton loved that he was the center of attention and everyone was there to love on him.
Dalton and his nana!!!
All the boys went to play football in the front waiting for the food to be finished.
And Dalton stood in the breakfast room watching them through the window:)
It's a tradition for Papa to always cut the turkey so he did this year as well. He did such a good job. I still can't believe he got that much meat off of that thing.
Of course after eating we looked through the ads for the next day while the boys watched the football games. This year we didn't really see any great deals but we still ended up finding ourselves getting up early and going out to shop.
Gammy with her kids and grandkids.
We all just kind of chilled out and mingled. It was very very relaxing and a wonderful time spending time with everyone.
Dalton was the star of the show like usual. Everyone wanted to do everything with him.
He had a great time playing in the yard while everyone chitchatted, and it was such a beautiful day outside we all enjoyed the weather.
Everyone was fighting over Aaron because this was the first year he was with us for Thanksgiving since his parents split. He stayed at our house though and when it was dark outside we all did smores. Gammy, Tim, Uncle Aaron, Gigi, Paul, John John, Mommy and Daddy all made smores over the chiminea and it was a ton of fun. Tim and Paul had never had smores before which we couldn't believe and still shocks me so it was really funny watching them eat their first smores.
They didn't know what these were or why we were making them and it was cracking me up.
But you can tell by the smiles that they LOVED them!!!
Tim didn't really understand how to eat them hahaha but he still said they were really yummy!!! That stain on his pants cracks me up because he was trying to eat cake and my mom being so excited all the time went over and accidentally knocked the whole hershey bar cake on his pants.
We had to make sure that little Dalton was bundled up really warm because it was very cold outside at this point
He LOVED eating all of the marshmellows haha. All he would do is come over and fill his mouth with them and then go run along and play and come back to refill his mouth when he ran out.
Then we all went back inside to warm up by the fire and watch the end of the cowboys game which thankfully they won. Then Dalton went to go spend the night with his Gigi and Paul and Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Aaron watched the Aggies and the Longhorns play. Poor Aggies they lost, but they really did play their hearts out!!! Chantz fell asleep during the game which was a first in his life but later I found out he had taken some nyquil and that is the reason that he was so sleepy ha. I knew there had to be something because he would NEVER fall asleep during that game.
More Thanksgiving weekend memories to come. This has been one of the best Thanksgivings we've ever had:)
