Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We have had a busy couple of weeks. Pappy Tom took Malin and Gavin (and Daddy) to the Penn State vs. Temple football game last Saturday. It was pouring. Gavin made it through 44 seconds of the first quarter and then he was ready to go. Malin followed not long after. Tuesday this week we took them to see Penn State vs Bucknell mens' basketball. The game went in to overtime, and both kids (along with both Holderman girls) made it through to the end of the game. Gavin wasn't in his seat much -- Daddy would guess that he did about 16 complete circuits of the arena! Unfortunately, Mommy's digital camera is broken, so we didn't get any pictures of either event, so eveyone out there might have to put up with pictureless blogs for a bit until we get it fixed.
Both kids are in bed after a busy turkey day. We took our traditional trip to the cabin last night. Daddy and Uncle Nick took all the kids spot-lighting. We didn't see any buck, but about 8 doe. We watched one brave one for about 10 minutes before Uncle Nick's spotlight died. We had trouble getting Gavin settled - the usual routine when he's not in his own bed. He finally got to sleep around midnight, and then at around 5:15 thought that it was time to get up for the day. Mommy had to take him home, where he promptly fell asleep until 8:30.
We had over 50 at the table again for the meal, with just about every dish imaginable. We finally got cleaned up and headed home around 2:00. We all fell asleep, and almost slept through our afternoon meal at Nana's! But Mommy managed to wake Daddy, and get the sleeping kids in to the car. We got to Nana's just in time for the meal. We had plenty to eat there for the second time today, and are just getting home. All our bellies are full, so Daddy thinks that as soon as he is finished blogging, he will go to bed too!
