Thankful!!

We enjoyed Ray San's 1st Thanksgiving.

Ray San and I went to breakfast at Aunt Bernadette's house. We had biscuits and gravy and pecan rolls with a big glass of milk. There was also bacon & sausage which I of course did not eat and fruit salad. It was nice that Ray San got to meet a few more family members that were unable to make it to the hospital. Cousin Steven got to hold Ray San even. Both were a little unsure about it. Papa Ray had to miss out because he was busy cooking our Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving evening was spent at my parent's house with my dad's side of the family. My in-laws were able to make it over too which was a nice addition. There were a total of 16 people and one Ray San. You know he was well cared for and my arms got a nice little break =] A big surprise was how much my cousin Mark was interested in Ray San. I never really imagined him to be a big fan of babies, but he wanted to hold Ray San and sang to him. It was too cute. Oh and he's 30 years old. I think I made him sound like a little boy and just wanted to clarify.
We had a fantasticly (I know this isn't a word) moist turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, green bean casserole, salad, fruit salad, rice a roni (my traditional request), pumpkin pie, apple pie, chips & dip, bbq pork, roast duck, mixed nuts, meat & cheese, hot crab & artichoke dip, chex mix, japanese rice crackers, pretzels, cheetos and I think that's everything. I am still full this morning =]
We also celebrated my birthday sort of. My grandma gave me an outfit, my in-laws got me a Seahawks jacket that I love, another grandma gave me money, my parents gave me the iPod shuffle I wanted for working out, the DVD Hancock and money and my aunts, uncles and cousins gave me a homemade card. I forgot to take a picture of it, but it is SO funny and perfect for me since I was the birthday queen =]
All in all we had a fantastic day. After all that happened to us this summer with Ray San, we are thankful he was able to be home with us. He's a healthy little boy and we know that is because of all the prayers and love of you... our family and friends! We are thankful for you.
Here are our Thanksgiving pictures.
