Thanksgiving 2010 Part 3 - Time with the family at Carin & Chris'

In addition to Thanksgiving celebrations, we also take the time with the family this week to celebrate Hanuka and Christmas. We exchange gifts, one of the things that the kids reall look forward to.

Nothing says holiday celebration like drumming! Everyone gets into it.

This year we fried the turkey. It was our first year doing the turkey in this "non-traditional" manner but since it tasted so great, I don't think it will be the last.

I pity the child that get's next to the turkey fryer!

Nothing caps off the holidays like a game of Wii bowling. Crazy Nana and Chris 2 have the best form but Ileana was the bowling ace this year, racking up the house record of 218.

Thanksgiving 2010 Part 2 - Disney Shots

You could feel the magic the second we walked into our "home" at Saratoga Springs.

You'd think that being at Disney and having a giant Mickey Mouse ice cream would make a kid crack at least one smile.

Crazy Christmas Lights.

Wacky parade.

Dinner at Fulton's. We are all convinced that there is no decent food for a moderate price within 50 miles of the Magic Kingdom. We had some decent seafood and plenty of fun none the less.

Ryan being a pisser and eating up some spaghetti.

There is nothing more disgusting to Sophie than the idea of eating a lobster. You would think mom found a bug under the table and popped it into her mouth.

Ryan and Claire with Sully and Mike.

On our final day in the parks, Sophie ended up getting the courage to see Mickey up close.

Thanksgiving 2010 Part 1 - The Year of the Light Saber

Light sabers seemed to be the rage this year. The kids became obsessed with them and had to bring them everywhere. I guess you never know when you might encounter a rogue stormtrooper or Darth Vader.
