We had been getting Luke excited about my family's Thanksgiving bowling tradition for weeks. I can think of a dozen times where Luke woke up in the morning and asked "Are we going bowling today? Is today Thanksgiving?" Finally, the day came. Luke couldn't wait to get into the bowling alley. We were almost the only people in the place, and he was wide eyed by all the lanes and lights. Unfortunately by the time we got the lane turned on, got the bumpers on, found him a light enough ball, and were settled in to bowl - he got a little overwhelmed and didn't want to have anything to do with the activity. Oh well, Matt bribed him away from the arcade room long enough to throw one ball. We had a great time, though. It had been 4 years since we were able to go to my Mackus/Casper side Thanksgiving, too long, and my bowling game showed it:)
Aunt Susan put on a delicious and fun party, and we all stuffed ourselves appropriately.

| Claire needed those pesky tights off so she could crawl circles around the house the whole evening. Watch where you step people, curious baby underfoot! |

| Austin and Eric are so grown up! Both in college. |
 |
| Nice birds! |
 |
| Luke LOVES going to Aunt Susan's house. Tons of fun toys in the basement to play with and people like Melissa and Bryson there who are content to play with him for indefinite amounts of time. |

| Out little turkey had a plate full of little pieces of turkey, sweet potatoes and veggies. Yum! |

| Literally mid-bite she zonked out at the table. She probably still had food unswallowed in her mouth. One second she was busily jamming food in her mouth and the next second she was like this. Tryptophan takeover! |
