Thanksgiving was definitely an eventful one this year. Phil’s parents were visiting for the occasion. Char was able to come the saturday before and Mark drove over on Wednesday night. Phil and I took advantage of the free babysitting and went to Brewer’s Art for dinner on Saturday and then went to our first Raven’s game on Sunday afternoon! It was a high of 22 degrees that day, but we bundled up and walked the 3-some miles to the stadium as a ‘warm up’ (we may have stopped at a few bars along the way). The game was so fun and Baltimore won!! The seats were great and all the fans kept things lively despite the cold weather. Unfortunately, as we were away, Evie came down with a stomach bug. And this bug continued to make its way through the entire house. Char had it next, then Wil, then I had it. Phil never had a full blown attack, but definitely wasnt feeling himself. We were a sad bunch Sunday through Wednesday. I even took Evie to the doctor just to make sure she didnt have an extra ear infection or anything. When I got in, they asked if she could possibly be teething? I said no way, no teeth at all yet (lots of drool though!). And as soon as the doctor stuck her finger in to check, sure enough she had one! haha – i hadnt noticed at all! Mother of the Year over here. Oh well. The doctor said she was handling things like a champ and to keep her hydrated. Luckily, by the time Thanksgiving (and Mark) arrived, we were all mostly back to normal.
We had our standard thanksgiving meal: Roast Turkey, my mom’s mashed potatoes, dressing recipe adapted from Mark’s stuffing, green bean casserole, jellied cranberry sauce for Mark, Char’s pumpkin squares, and lots of chex mix. I was mostly happy with how things turned out. Phil said it lacked cheese. On Friday, we were finally able to get out of the house! We went to the Baltimore Children’s museum so Wil could run off some steam. Then we spent the afternoon baking cookies! A great way to finish off the week.
Here is a massive Thanksgiving slideshow. I tried to make notes where applicable:

Not going to lie, it was kind of shocking seeing Phil in a Ravens jersey. We must get you back before that plague continues! 😉 Loved the kisses pic! They are so sweet!
