We gather together

A Happy Thanksgiving was had by all this week. We thought we'd get a head of the game and do a lot of prep work for all the cooking on Wednesday. Barry bought a 20 lbs turkey, and I fixed my Jack Daniels ham. All together now...Mmmmmmm!!!

Thomas and Chloe play on the loveseat. She loves having her toes tickled.

Turns out we didn't get everything cooked by the time we had wanted to start eating (2:00), so we had to wait almost an extra hour for the turkey to finish cook.





Here's Thomas and Chris eagerly awaiting dinner time!











Emily, Rene' , Michael and Chloe chat and read the advertisements for the next days sales.




Rene' was planning on getting up and going shopping at 4:00 am the next morning! Eh gads! She and I met up later that night at Florida Mall for some extra shopping.






Chloe evesdrops on Thomas and Barry's conversation.








Hopefully Michael found a good sale.









Chloe kept bugging Wayne for a drawing. She wanted a baby dino. At first he thought Chloe wanted a BIG dino, but Chloe adimantly explained that she wanted a BABY dino.



Luckily almost 99.9 percent of our friends are artists and are use to requests.





Oohhh... liking the baby dino!




This is the baby dino Wayne drew for Chloe. She LOVES it!



Wayne cracked us up. We were talking about Chloe and Wayne said when the robots DO take over, she's the one that will be leading the resistance. That one comment sent Barry off into creating a story about Chloe and her fighting off the robot armies. Look for this story to debut early 2006 ; o )







After the folks left both Chloe and Fox were in dire need of a bath. Chloe had food in her hair, and all over, so bathtime it was!










I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and bathe them together.




I caught this photo luckily. Chloe LOVES to kiss Fox.
