Message: Mommy's family does Thanksgiving 2 times, with the Bells on Thursday and then with the Ammanns on Friday. So, keeping up the tradition, the Bells got together on Thursday for turkey at Central Baptist Church in Eureka (we need a big place to hold all those guys). Emmett was getting hungry, because he didn't eat much breakfast, he was saving room for all that yummy stuff he'd been hearing about, so he had a roll while everyone else was getting dinner ready. While eating dinner mom went to get him seconds on the mashed potatoes and apparently they were still a little too hot to Emmett's skin, because when he stuck his hand in them he screamed! The ice in the water used to cool his hand also made a nice snack.
After dinner Emmett and Stephanie played. She showed Emmett how to throw trash into the trashcan. He was a good helper and sad to see an end to the trash.
After dinner with the Bells Emmett went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Beeson. He had a cheez-it snack there, he wasn't ready for another meal, but snacks are always welcomed! He played ball with Grandpa, uncle Kevin, aunt Kim and daddy.
Friday, Emmett got to have his second day of Thanksgiving with the Ammanns and Caseys and Grandma and Grandpa Bells. Lots of little cousins to play with! Brendan, Alex and Ian were all there to play too. They all liked playing in Emmett's pop-up tent and playing peek-a-boo. Emmett got to eat Grumpy's favorite sage and potato stuffing and more of mommy's sweet potato casserole. And of course more of Grandma's rolls!
