red, white and blue in november

[east doing his classic "cheeeeese" with his arms raised to the sky]

three days before thanksgiving my mom flew into town.

she came earlier than the rest of the fam to do all of her christmas shopping for the grandkids.

big toys are just too hard to travel with .... :)

she also did all of her thanksgiving dinner shopping.

big turkeys are hard to travel with too.

 along with yummy yams, warm mashed potatoes & gravy, warm rolls, stuffing, frog eye salad, 

and lots of other delicious food ... you get my point ...

anyway, we met up with her for dinner that night.

before we left, luke (of course) had a blowout in a cute outfit he was wearing that my mom had bought him.

when i debated what to dress him in next i decided to let him match his older brother.

why not?

i thought it would make for a couple of cute photos ... taken by my iphone.

[always trying to put the bink in luke's mouth ... whether he wants it or not]


THANKSGIVING post coming next!  i am soooo behind.
