So, here is a not-so-brief recap of our Thanksgiving trip to Ohio:
To get things started off on the right foot,

we found Grandpa Glenn's old BB gun! What is a Thanksgiving without guns, right!?.JPG)
Larson L-O-V-E-D it!We had an "awesome" bonfire (yes, awesome was in the official title on the 'to-do' list - we were going to have an awesome bonfire. And we did.)

What's a bonfire without some round-the-fire singing?.JPG)
The Pointer Sisters? I'll spare you having to listen to the video......JPG)
Linda & Elizabeth
Larson roasting his marshmallow. Actually - Larson holding his marshmallow around the fire pit for 1.3 seconds before deciding it was done enough to eat.
Aaawwwwhhhhh......JPG)
Lesley made the entire Thanksgiving dinner! Impressive and delicious!.JPG)
She not only made the dinner for the huge family, but also for the 5 Iraqi refugee's that joined us.

Larson loves his Aunt Lesley! Awh..JPG)
These weren't on the Thanksgiving menu. And I'm thankful for that. Ryan did however eat them when we went out.We went to eat & listen to some local music one night,

the kids had gone home, but left their cups with me, so when the band asked us to raise our glasses, what else could we do?.JPG)
The best seat in the house!
Like I said....best seat!.JPG)
Ryan, Lesley, Elizabeth & I all went to a BlueJackets game. It was Elizabeth's first NHL game - I think we now have a new fan-for-life! :)
Ryan, Elizabeth & Lesley at the game.
Ryan & I on his birthday. (Happy 33rd Birthday Ryan...quack!quack!) What better way to spend your 33rd than going.......bowling!!!
Larson's first-time bowling.
Secily's too!.JPG)
The shoes, as you might expect from a bowling alley, were awesome.
For Ryan's birthday dinner we went out to a Japanese Steakhouse - the kids were mesmerized by the meal cooked at the table. All that fire - exciting!!
Larson watching the fire! I love the look of wonder..JPG)
And after he opened his gifts, we couldn't help but nearly kill him with Silly String. .JPG)
Elizabeth & I at the Norman Rockwell Art Exhibit.
An Ohio tradition....snow cones with Granny!.JPG)
And we sign off of Thanksgiving.....and head into the Christmas season! Cue Jingle Bells.

2. My birthday tradition is to eat at Osaka, where they cook at the table. Now it's Reilly and Declan's, too! SCORE! I get to go there three times a year!
