Christmas Tree Shopping

Last year when we went Christmas Tree shopping I was about one week old, so mommy and I stayed in the car while Daddy picked one out. This year was special because it was the first time I got to shop with Daddy (and Mommy). We picked out the best tree and it is so pretty in our house now. I love the holidays already! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving x 3

We had three Thanksgiving get-togethers to go to this year for my first real time to celebrate this holiday. Last year, I was only a few days old so needless to say I didn't get to enjoy any of the turkey, sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie!
The first set of pictures are from Thanksgiving hosted my Grammy Jo. We had so many yummy yummies, including almond joy cheesecake, candied sweet potatoes, turkey, homemade noodles, mashed potatoes, ham, corn and MANY, MANY more desserts! Mmmmmm!
Here I am with Great Uncle Jim

The next set of pictures are from Grandma Cindy's. She hosted us a couple of days after Thanksgiving and it was a beautiful day! So, we took advantage of the weather and tried to exercise off some of those goodies we ate! Grandma worked hard on dinner and it was delicious! We had ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, chicken & noodles, macaroni & cheese, rolls, green bean casserole, pies, pumpkin dessert and much more!!

Here is Cousin Jackie playing on the swingset
