Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving 09

Us with Fred and Jackie

Abby refused to leave my cousin's son, Aiden, alone. She continuously tried to grab him and give him kisses (or bite his nose, whatever you like to call it!). We had to keep pulling her away from him! They are about 6 weeks apart in age.

Thanksgiving entertainment.

This is the kind of stellar cooperation we get during photo ops.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Cincinnati this year and Alex had a blast exploring out at Grandpa's house! He loves to get outside there and dig or just throw sticks into the woods. He even took an obligatory ride around the property on the tractor! We split Thanksgiving Day between families and enjoyed every last bit of turkey we could manage to eat. Friday night we celebrated my sister's birthday and Saturday we spent the day with Brad's mom's family.

Saturday, Abby managed to take a few steps away from the ottoman on her own. She prefers to crawl around but is walking and cruising more and more. She is still a little wobbly. Abby enjoyed many of the Thanksgiving treats and is eating very little baby food now. Cranberry sauce, stuffing and rolls seemed to be her favorites. Alex adamantly had a peanut butter sandwich instead of turkey and was pleased that we allowed him to do so.

Today Alex and I set up the Christmas tree and will attempt to add lights and decorations after Brad gets home. Alex was excited to see so many lights on our street when we rounded the corner last night after dark. Everyone has really done a great job!
