Gobble de Gobble

Roxi spent her first Thanksgiving in Indianapolis surrounded by family: Grandpa and Grandma Wessel; Uncles Tom and Randy; Great Aunt Glenna; Great Uncle Charlie; [here's where my knowledge of proper geneological terms runs out] great cousins/second cousins Kim, Dale, Eric and Diana, and third cousins/some flavor of cousins Brittany, Ryan, Krista and Kyle. With the exception of Grandpa and Grandma, these were all new people to the sweet girl. She drooled on, pulled the hair of, laughed with, sat on and had more fun than should be allowed with everyone.

Though all Roxi got was her usual diet of formula, rice cereal and peas, the rest of us chowed down on the biggest spread I have ever seen. Capital deliciousness.

Roxi also had the chance to spend a couple hours with Rob's long-time friend Asit and his two boys Seren (4) and Kieren (1.5). We had a hard time believing that Roxi would ever be that big, mobile, talkative or hysterical, but Asit assured us it was true. Oh, and Roxi got her first kiss from a "boyfriend" - as we were preparing to leave, Seren asked, "Could I kiss your baby?" (How cute is that?) To which we replied, "Of course!" And so the girl got a smackeroo on the top of the head.
