Happy Turkey Day!

Thanksgiving at the Roels' house was good. I made my two "number one" dishes--roasted turkey and home-made cranberry sauce. My two sisters, Reggie, kids, and Raymond (Alain's dad) came over and brought over a variety of side dishes and a home-made apple cobbler for dessert. Everything was delicious!

Natalie, who is our picky eater, tried some turkey, mac-n-cheese, and stuffing; however, she did not eat it. Her Thanksgiving feast ended up being green beans, rice, and grapes. She is getting better at trying new things. Slowly, but surely ;)

It was a huge milestone day for Natalie: walking! She walked on her own for most of the entire day! Of course, she stumbled a lot; but, when she fell a few times, she kept saying "oops." Then she would get up and tried it again. Everyone watched and rooted for her as she tried to find her balance to go further through the house. Natalie had this a huge smile on her face! Aww!

This year, Alain, Natalie, and I are THANKFUL for having families and friends who love and support us every day. And to our families overseas: We MISS and LOVE you! XOXO
