Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-10-11

2009-10-11 22:40 (Kristen) Jamie was up around 7:30, and came into bed with me and John until 8. Liam was up around 8:30, and came in with me and John until around 8:45, when I gave up and got up. Today was all about Thanksgiving dinner, and the boys were helpful in their own ways. They helped John buy a folding table at Canadian Tire to give us extra space for guests to eat at, and kept out of my way during food prep. When Ian and Amy arrived with Ted and Alice, Jamie and Liam were delighted. They brought a cool birthday present for Jamie, whose birthday is in a month, and Liam is looking forward to playing with the building system too. Dinner was a success, and both Liam and Jamie ate about half of the sushi that John's aunts brought before dinner even started. So, not much turkey went into either boy, altough Jamie did eat well, and ate a pumpkin tart that Alice made too. Yay, someone to share pumpkin pies with! The day and night were chaotic, but in a good way, and all were fed and made happy with food. Jamie and Ian played video games together, and Liam followed along. It was a good day, and the boys were in bed almost indecently late.
