Just Because It's February Doesn't Mean You Can't Look at Pictures from Thanksgiving and Christmas

Well, yet again the old Miles blog is being updated just a little late...but never fear. I bring you good tidings of great joy!!! Unto us Miles was born...and he did all sorts of cute, adorable things that just make you want to kiss his little face right off. This time it's Nat that brings you the blog entry. Rhiannon is working hard on her thesis right now and has asked me to fill in for her while she finishes up her brilliant piece of work. So without any more wait....We'll start with the Thanksgiving holiday. Now, some of these pictures are of the whole fam, and some are just Miles, and some are pics of us with friends. However, all of these pictures are awesome.

The following picture really doesn't do our dinner justice. We basically cooked for two days and grilled a 21 pound turkey for only 4 and 1/2 people. See, we had never cooked our own turkey before. We didn't know that the government buys 21 pound turkeys to feed the army. So we had leftovers. We had a lot of leftovers.

Our T-day spread

Now for the Christmas holiday. First up is a picture of our dining room. It was the first to be decorated after Thanksgiving. Rhiannon, Nicole, Brandon, and Miles did this while I was at work. The caption gives you the theme. If you don't understand, ask Rhiannon or watch the movie Elf.

The Elf room

He didn't know that it needs to come out of the box before it can be played with

That's more like it

The tree and stockings

Please note: The pile of presents next to Miles are all for him

Well, that about does it for this update. I hope you all enjoyed the pics. Rhi is a little better at this than I am, so hopefully she'll be up to doing the next one...Although, now that I think about it, we just might have another baby by then. And then we'll need another blog.......
