Shelby's First Thanksgiving

It was an unusual Thanksgiving but was gobbles of fun!  Shelby got to see Grandpa (for the first time) and Grandma from Ohio and Uncle Nick and Aunt Pat joined us in between trucking jobs!   Pat and Nick showed up in their shiny red truck fresh from a delivery down south.   Their next load wasn't due for a pickup until Monday, so they joined us the whole weekend!  Since the guest room was taken, they camped out in the truck - probably the lowest maintenance house guests ever!  

The food was great - sweet potatoes, cranberries and pie were my picks.   While we ate I ran a little time lapse photo experiment.  Even Shelby made the corner of the picture.   No turkey for her until next year.  

Grandma and Aunt Pat enjoyed a few sunny Florida walks with Shelby while Grandpa fixed a backed up sink.    With free babysitting on hand,  Bonnie and I snuck out for to see the new 007 movie.  It was great watching them all handle the baby, it was like they had done this before.  

With everyone gone, it's so quiet.   But it won't be but a few weeks before we're joined again for Christmas.   Shelby's got less than a month to smile on command!
