A Very Turner Thanksgiving

Turner and his Mom and Dad enjoyed time with family over the Thanksgiving weekend. On Thursday, Turner got all dressed up to celebrate.

Lunch was in Gibsonville with the Boone side of the family. On the couch are cousins Jodie and Katie with Mom keeping a watchful eye in the background.

Uncle Adam even made an appearance, coming down off the mountain for a couple of days.

Turner likes to pretend he's flying sometimes at family events.

Later that evening, the Morris family gathered at Grams and Papa's house. Turner wasn't in the best of moods and declined to have his picture taken.

On Friday evening, we returned to the Vasbinder house for hotdogs and s'mores over the fire pit. The Yangs were in town for the weekend and Turner enjoyed in depth conversations with his cousins.

Saturday night it was the Staton family's turn to get together for Thanksgiving. Turner spent time with his Mamaw, his Gran, and his Gladys Ann.

He also enjoyed seeing his Granpa, Aunt Sandy, Cousin Sherri, Uncle Sherman, and Rick.
And even though he didn't cooperate for long, he did spend some time with his Papaw!

Thanksgiving is always a fun time with the family even with Mister Turner in a bad mood.

Just to catch you up on some recent Turner activity.

Here's Turner and Dad watching some football together. Turner was thrilled with the Pack's big wins over UNC and Miami!

Turner got to spend some time with his Gran and Granpa who came by for dinner and then went on to a ballgame.

And last Sunday, Mom and Dad left Turner with Grams and Papa (for the first time) and went to see the new James Bond movie. A good time was had by all.

And it's true that Mom and Dad like to show off the Z whenever possible.

Turner's Excellent Week

Lots going on in Turner World this week. It started with lots of candy on Halloween...none of which he could eat.

Turner invited over his good friend Caleb (along with his mom Sabrina) for the evening.

Unfortunately the scary decorations didn't actual scare away any kids, so we had to give away most of our candy.

On Saturday, Turner attended the Cary Band Day parade with his parents. The banging drums, clashing cymbals, and Elvis impersonators didn't phase him as he slept through most of the parade, until he was hungry.

Gran and Granpa came by on Wednesday for a visit and dinner at the Longhorn. For full coverage, see http://maboone.blogspot.com/ .

Thursday, mom's friend Kelly arrived to help out over the weekend. Kelly has two young ones of her own (see them here: http://brookswildkingdom.blogspot.com/) and she had lots of great ideas including the instant sleep swing.

Finally on Sunday, Grams came by to say hello.

Turner decided to show off a little bit by actually picking up his stuffed monkey unassisted. Even Chloe was impressed.

Beat that Chloe!
