Thanksgiving with Mimi and P-paw

Liam had a great first Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to have Mimi and P-Paw come up to Maine to celebrate the holiday with us. They arrived on Tuesday night. Mike and I had to work on Wednesday so Mom and Dad got to watch Liam for the day. Mom just couldn't get over how much Liam eats. Since starting solids, he has pretty much chowed down on everything we will give him. The only thing he really hasn't liked is a green pea, spinich and green bean mix. It really makes him gag. His favorite seems to be sweet potatoes. He is also a fan of avacado, bananas, applesause, oatmeal and rice cereal.
Anyway, on Thursday we spent much of the day preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. We had plans to have Thanksgiving with our friends Brian, Carolyn and Emma. Members of both Brian and Carolyn's family were also up for Thanksgiving. They also had invited some other friends so in all there were about 18 people including five kids aged seven on down to Liam. It was festive to say the least. It was a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving.
On Friday, we went to Freeport home of L. L. Bean for some shopping. There are many outlet stores there. We had a good time though it was tiring at times trying to beat the shopping crowds.
The rest of the weekend was spent enjoying the quiet of Bar Harbor in post tourist season. We played with Liam, enjoyed the ocean and took a nice Sunday drive.
With another holiday down I get more excited for Liam's first Christmas. It will be so wonderful to get back to Ohio so that Liam can meet all of his family, spend time with his Grammy and Grampy McKernan and meet some of our good friends as well. I am sure it will be here before we know it.
