dad's birthday

We celebrated Dad's birthday with a Thanksgiving meal.

My parents will be out visiting my sister during Thanksgiving, so we made sure we had the turkey and all the trimmings this night--mashed potatoes, sweet potato pudding, cranberry relish (made prior to dinner), greens, stuffing and buttermilk rolls! And in place of cake there was pecan pie + pumpkin pie.
The kids took over the musical card my dad received from friends and began opening it, dancing, and of course as soon as the music stopped re-opening and dancing...on and on for a long time. Caleb was trying to breakdance, sliding across the floor, spinning and flipping.

Caleb + Maddie wore themselves out from all their dancing and were ready to leave by the end of the evening.
