Z's First Thanksgiving

I wonder how long I'll label every Holiday as Z's first, second, third, fourth...

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving at Nick's parent's house.
We didn't go to any of our Grandmas' houses, because Z isn't supposed to be around children or large groups of people during RSV season. (I've already taken him to events with most of the extended Healey family, but he stayed in his car seat with the blanket over him and the family knows what's going on, so they kept their distance. [thanks guys!])

It's strange to say that we had Christmas at Z's Grandma and Grandpa's house.
It was just Kelley, Jerry, Nick, Me, Z, Dani, Chris, and Hannah,this year.
After the guys played a couple games of pool we finally got them upstairs and put them to work! Nick cut the turkey while the rest of us buttered and foiled the crab legs! (That's right! King Crab legs!)

The table was set with Kelley's beautiful china and many of the typical Thanksgiving favorites- the turkey, the mashed potatoes and gravy, the squash, delicious rolls... but all of those were just building up to the main entree...

The King Crab!
It was awesome. :D Jerry has a job where he flies helicopters in Alaska and he picked these big boys up this last time! It was a lot of fun! Seriously, --watching your in-laws using pliers and household scissors to pry open crab legs over Thanksgiving dinner conversation was Awesome!
We will never forget this Thanksgiving. :D

Elliott and Z got to chill around by our feet as we ate. ;) (Don't worry, I gave Elliott a tiny, teeny bit of crab.)

I just had to post this one cuz it makes me laugh. (I wanted to take the baby, but Nick gave me the stink eye.)
