Our first stop was at Oma and Granddaddy's house (Nick's parents). They had invited 20 people over for Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, Charlie was the center of attention, and he loved every minute of it. His separation anxiety didn't rear its ugly head, and he actually enjoyed being passed around and visiting with everyone. He sat at the table in his booster seat next to Granddaddy, and even got to eat turkey and a little nibble of pumpkin pie.
After a quick cat nap in the car, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house (my parents). We had the pleasure of meeting Uncle Bud's girlfriend, Ali, for the first time as she joined us for dinner. In true Browning style, Grandpa prepared enough food to feed a small country and Grandma had a table setting that looked like it was out of a magazine. Charlie sampled a little more turkey and had some time to play with the toys that Grandma and Grandpa keep at the house for him.
Charlie collapsed into his crib when we got home from the long day of festivities. We couldn't have asked for a better first Thanksgiving for the little guy. It was the beginning of traditions that he will hopefully look forward to as the years go by and maybe someday pass along to his own children.
