Allan likes to watch himself as the camera takes a picture of him.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was spent with tons of family...just like it should be!
My family ran all over town to spend Thanksgiving with all of our families. First up was at Meema's house, just like the good old days when we were all little kids.
(above are several generations of Drosches)



My mom overseeing my dad carving her delicious turkey.
(and man can my mom cook one heck of a turkey, not to mention her awesome stuffing! ...and I'm not just saying that cause she's my mom...Allan even eats it! And that's the only turkey he's ever tried. Granted, he dips it in Ketchup, but so what.)
I love this picture of Allan because those stained glasses in the front of Meema and Peepa's house is one of the many things I remember about their house as a kid growing up. I love that my cousin, Kristen captured Allan next to them.
Allan's cousins, "The Couvillion kids" are such great kids. Allan loves hanging out with them every time we get together. Lately, him and Kyler have been great buds together. Kyler takes care of Allan, helps get Allan food, watches out to make sure Allan doesn't get into something he shouldn't be...you name it. He's like the perfect babysitter!
See? Kyler has everything under control. He knew Allan didn't need to get too close to the street.

Both concentrating on something important?

Kyler's sister, Kennedy, is also a big help. These cousins love hanging out!

And of course we have to have cousin "Baby Ashtyn" walking. Once she learned to walk that was it. She has tons of things to explore now.

"Look Mom, NO hands!"

A little more play equals Ryan joining in on the fun!

Kyler helping Allan with the water hose...

Kyler's momma, Kimberly, has to join in on the fun.

Nothing like pushing the kids around on Meema's walker...

Park Play

I had a few days before Thanksgiving without watching Maegan, so Allan and I took advantage of the nice (cold!) weather and played at the park.

Poor guy, I put him in the swing facing right into the sun.

He kept saying "weeeee" but had his eyes closed.

(note: don't worry, eventually I did turn him the other way in the swings and let him enjoy them without the sun beating in his face.

He had a blast at our big neighborhood park.

Allan had so much fun at the park that when it was time to go, he screamed and cried the whole way home, then stopped when he was eating lunch and started up again about the "my park" cries. Never mind that he was 2 hours past his naptime when we left the park.

Indoor Gym Fun

Allan got to play at an indoor gym for a birthday party.

He was so excited and having so much fun that I couldn't get very many good pictures. The kid would not stay still for longer than 5 seconds.

Stuck in the foam pit and having lots of trouble climbing out.

Bet you'll never find Allan...

Trampolines are fun when they're in the shape of a long rectangle!
