Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Steve and I certainly have a lot to be thankful for - each other, our families, and of course Benjamin! Benjamin's first Thanksgiving was very nice. Rob and Natalie hosted the dinner at their house and we had lots of good food. In addition to the traditional Lucken family dishes (baked corn, sweet potatoes, lefse with butter and sugar, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and of course turkey), Rob grilled a hickory smoked turkey and Natalie made pumpkin cheesecake that were both quite tasty. After dinner, Benjamin took a two and a half hour nap! This is doubly surprising as he usually only takes hour long naps and he often doesn't sleep well in the afternoon! Perhaps it was the turkey? During his nap, my nephews (Trever and Zack) and I had some fun on the trampoline outside (even though it was a little chilly!). Benjamin and Lucy provided much of the entertainment the rest of the night.

We are so thankful to have Benjamin in our lives.
