Thanksgiving, from Max's point of view.

Hi everyone! My Mom thought I should write our Thanksgiving from my point of view. It was my first and I think I really like this day. Everyone kept saying I was sort of there last year. And I remember a little of me trying to get there, but I was just so warm and cozy. The noise level was too much so I just "knocked on the door" a little...I think you call it ding-dong-ditching.

Well the night before my cousin Kirra came over to spend the night. She must live really far away because it took a loooong time in the car to get home. There were a lot of cars on the road though. She played with me so much that night I thought I was going to explode. We got to eat Chinese food and watch movies. Then I fell asleep. I just knew there was more fun going on though so I thought I'd fool them to think I'd sleep all night. Nope. I was up and ready to party by 3am! And I let everyone know. The next morning went okay though and Kirra let me take a picture with her. I love her. Then my Mom and Dad wanted one with me. That wasn't so fun.
We had to get in the car again and I wasn't happy about it. I tried to sleep a little and that didn't work. My nose kept running and my throat was so itchy. I gave up and just cried.


Kirra to the rescue! She started playing with me again and that solved everything. I want her to live with me forever, she is so cool!


When we got to my Grandma and Grandpa's house it smelled so good. I was so happy to be there. There was so much food! There was a big bird in the oven...don't worry, not the big yellow one. I think he's safe on Thanksgiving.



And these egg things. I thought I might like them...wrong...they are so gross. That's my warning to you. I think it's a joke because all the big people laughed at me when I tried to wipe it out of my mouth.


Then this happened. This is my Aunt Carla and my Grandma. Aunt Carla got this silver bottle that sprays whipped cream. The ladies were playing with it and said something about it tasting like heaven. I have another picture of Aunt Carla putting it in her mouth but my Mom said I couldn't put it up here. She said she was just going to send it to Uncle John because it would make him happy. Why would he care if his wife is covered in whip cream?

There were all sort of toys and books there too. I got to hang out with my Grandpa and tell him all about my life. We played with trains and their dog too. Her name is Daisy and I like to kiss her. On the mouth. It makes the big people make funny barf noises. I just do it for them.

This is my cousin Payten. She liked to be naked that day. That pretty glass she is holding was really cool. I didn't get to use one though. It is something called China and it belonged to my Great Grandma. It's never been used here before. I liked it, it was shiny and the big people put the food on some of it. Then scooped it up with more gold things, like a shovel. I think it would make a crashing sound if it hit the floor. Maybe I can try that next year.

This was the quietest time ever at my Grandma and Grandpa's house. All the other kids came over for pie after we ate and it got louder again. That was so cool because I got to dance and sing and play with all the big kids. This picture is of the table, I thought my Grandpa was funny. My Grandma started a new game this year. We played ...um...I'll call it Thankful ABC's. Every person had a letter and had to say something they were thankful for, that started with that letter. The big people played it while they ate and they sure thought it was funny. I don't know why, I was too busy stuffing food in my face.

It was a really fun day. Thanks to my family for being so cool!
