There’s No Such Thing as Too Much Turkey

Oh man. I’m officially declaring this Thanksgiving as the best one ever.  So much to be thankful for. And so much amazing food!
 Hudson’s first Thanksgiving was a success! No turkey for him this year….but I’m sure he’ll love it next year!

 Little doggie booty.
 We celebrated this year at my mom’s lake house. Everything was perfect.
 Hudson took a little pre-Thanksgiving nap on Grandma R. She has the magic touch.
 
All the yummy food! My mom really outdid herself. Everything was so good.

 So thankful for our little turkey! He lasted maybe 5 minutes in his car seat before demanding to be held during dinner. I can’t blame him….I wouldn’t want to miss out on any Thanksgiving action either!
 Lots of geese in the lake.
And a blurry photo of a deer in my mom’s back yard. About 5 of them casually strolled by and I was frantic to get the camera out without Wrigley noticing and going crazy!
Instead of shopping on black Friday we just ate more food…and relaxed. It was perfect. Hudson was refusing to nap….but I finally got him to sleep in his car seat…..

….and apparently took a little snooze myself. On the floor. With the dog. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with lots of turkey and lots of love!

    You know you're a mom when you pass out on the floor 😉 I feel asleep on the floor the other day, just completely passed out, with my head on my dogs bed next to him. Sometimes life is just exhausting!
