A Turkey Week

Gavin Lee Krusemark, D.D.S. ?

Gavin enjoyed his first Thanksgiving this past week, filled with family, friends and lots of goodies. Gavin began his week as normal, but still attended swimming lessons Wednesday night where he continues to be "that kid" who splashes and plays in the water while getting other kids wet.

Gavin met his friend Annika this week. She and her parents, Ingrid and Kevin were up for the holiday from Arizona. He is a little bit older, but she easily holds her own with Gavin......typical Nelson girl!

Thursday was filled with Jill's family and Cary's parents for Thanksgiving. Pappa T injected one turkey for the turkey fryer and another turkey was in the oven. Let's just say we are glad Gavin likes turkey. However, which one in the picture is the turkey? HA! Gavin really enjoyed having everyone here and he had plenty of entertainment with his cousins.

Friday cousins, Kaden and Kylie visited with Stacy and Steph. Kylie would take Gavin home with her if she could convince her mom....oh, wait.....that would be a piece of cake. Gavin was getting a lot of practice crawling and pulling himself up on various things like the coffee table. It was good to have extra helpers watching out for him.

Saturday was spent in Mankato for Thanks-mas. Gavin met a whole bunch of his extend family and all of Cary's cousin's little ones too. It was a full house and a lot of entertainment.

The rest of the weekend we relaxed and decided to be bumps on a log after a busy 4 days. It was nice to be at home on a cold day filled with some snow flurries.

It's all up here.

During these past four days Gavin's major accomplishments include crawling with speed and efficiency, discovering how to climb stairs, and waving and clapping with some prompting. Yes, we will be buying another safety gate so Humpty Dumpty doesn't fall. Daddy feels the pocket book getting hit again. Now it is safety gates and diapers, next it will be 4 pairs of shoes in a year! Crazy how fast the little fella grows.
