Happy Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving the Morris Clan descended upon Pinehurst to feast, and golf, and feast and golf some more. Oh yeah, and to see baby Leah!

Thursday evening Devin and Sarah and Co. drove down from Richmond, while my parents flew into Raleigh. Since we obviously missed the holiday, we decided to celebrate Friday instead, so while I was rockin' Zombie Land (and still am...guh, I was still supposed to be pregnant when we made all of these plans) with the new baby up all night, Sarah and my mom made the Thanksgiving dinner and watched the kiddos while the guys golfed. Sounds fair, right? We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, jello salad, rolls, and all that other good stuff. It was the first home cooking we'd had in weeks! Yum!

Jon got the honor of carving the turkey-- thanks to his surgeon's hands. He's good with a drill AND a knife!

Here we are! And there was even enough for leftovers, hooray!

The best tradition: my Great Grandma's Banana Cream Pie. I don't think I've found a pie I like better than this one. It's amazing (especially when you're not the one doing the 30 min. of stirring)!

Zachary agrees with me. Every year I think we should just make all 4 pies Banana Cream. Pumpkin is a good 2nd place I guess.

Saturday morning my parents and Devin took Lucy, Zach, and Eva to the movie "Wreck It Ralph." Lucy and Zach LOVED it. Lucy has the whole thing memorized basically, and tells me all about the funny parts.

That night they got dinner at Texas Roadhouse while I stayed at home with Babykins.

And speaking of Leah, here she is at 2 weeks old! Jon is finally over his cold and can bond with our little peanut. She sure is cute!

Devin and Sarah left Sunday, but my parents stayed through this week. Tuesday the 27th was my Dad's birthday, so Zach helped him celebrate with a pancake breakfast (their favorite). It's been really fun having both parents here to help.

Baby Leah was actually due on the 27th (Grandpa's birthday), so it was kind of crazy to think she's already been here for 3 weeks. Thinking of still being pregnant and going through everything I just did sure makes me thankful she came early! We have so much to be grateful for these days-- our little turkeys, our church, our home in North Carolina, and our family and friends who've helped so much in the past few weeks. Happy Thanksgiving!
