Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving all! Team Oakley has much to be thankful for this year. Mainly Emery, but also our family, health, and for the great jobs we get to work. 

To celebrate we stuffed our faces! We had thanksgiving dinner at Michael's parent's house, and the day could not have been more beautiful!



While cooking, Beka tried on some of Cassidy's cool new glasses, and snapped this fancy photo. 




Emery was pretty fancy too. So fancy that he wore himself out for the majority of cooking and prep work (ain't that just like a man :).


Emery woke up in just enough time for dinner (again, ain't that just like a man :). He got to sit in his high chair with everybody! But he was not amused that we did not give him any food. Sorry, buddy, just milk.


The dishes that Beka made for thanksgiving were:
Cranberry rice pilaf stuffing, baked beans (vegan), Miso Macaroni (vegan), baked mac and cheese, and a chef salad. Also for dinner was mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, baked apples, green bean casserole, cajun turkey breast, cranberry sauce, roasted baby carrots and onion, sweet corn, rolls, stuffing, and peas. For dessert: Pumpkin pies, green apple pie, vanilla ice cream, and gourmet coffee. 
Needless to say we were happy eaters. 



Beka's dad and momma Gail were in town, and got to love on sweet emery all day long! it was their best thanksgiving yet. 


Here is a link of Poppa and Emery playing.

It was a day full of thanks and blessings and snuggles and stuffing! What a wonderful day it was. Thanks for you all! We are thankful for all of you!

Love
Team Oakley
