Happy Thanksgiving!
We went to Thanksgiving dinner last night at Ronalee's and Bruce's. It was a combination Thanksgiving and October Birthday celebration. We have four family birthdays in October: Matthew turns 8, Emily turns 2, and Jocelyn and Lauren turn undisclosed ages. So, we had a big turkey dinner with all the fixings, pumpkin cheesecake, and birthday cupcakes. It was a great dinner and good to be with everyone (all 23 of us!!). Before dinner, there was the usual street hockey and James and Daniel got involved. Here are some photos.
The Birthday Crew: Emily with Daddy holding her, Lauren, Matthew, and Jocelyn with tasty birthday cupcakes.
James (who is red-checked with teething) and cousin Daniel. Not much difference between them (size and ability) anymore. James has caught up (and exceeded Daniel in shoe size!).
Birthday present time! James thinks he needs to be involved too.

Thank you for fixing my stick, auntie Jocelyn. Watch out, Daniel!
I'm gonna get the ball!
Defense!

Matthew: birthday boy and goalie in training.

Hi Mom: Did you see my hockey stick? (James refused to play with the child-sized sticks and insisted on playing with a full size hockey stick--and did not too badly with it, either!).
James is getting ready to shoot.
Not bad, James.
James and Daddy, playing hockey. I am pretty sure we could have a series of photos like this showing James at every age and stage. Keep Tuned.
