Thanksgiving

Dear Kacie,

Last year for Christmas, you got your very first 'bug book.' You've always enjoyed it but lately, you have figured out how to do the activity on each page by yourself and you LOVE that book now! I grew up with these books so it is really fun to share it with you.

You like to watch me put on lotion, and sometimes you even help me! You got a hold of the bottle one day and were trying to put it on and rubbing your legs like you were.

One of your Christmas presents arrived in a box of Styrofoam! It was like it's very own toy!

Along with putting on lotion, you try to put on your socks, shoes and pants sometimes!

Its really fun to see you learning new things and acting so grown up!

But you don't always act grown up!

Like this one time when you kept sitting on your breakfast… Luckily it was just eggs so you didn't get too dirty and I didn't have to change your outfit!

Thanksgiving was really exciting. Last year was kind of boring so this year, we were happy to have dad's family come and celebrate with us! We went to Costco to buy a pumpkin pie and you were just attached to your Uncle Devin the whole time he was here!

We took some family pictures and you just wanted to play on the table cause it made a cool sound when you stepped on it!

And you kept feeling it saying 'soooft'

Uncle Devin was tapping the end of it and you thought it was hilarious!

I don't know why exactly, but I guess it's because you never used to do this, but lately you've been laying on the ground to watch TV. This particular time you were throwing a fit and then all the sudden calmed down, found your belly button and watched TV in peace for a few minutes.

Thanksgiving morning everyone left but you me and grandma to go shooting. Your dad came home like "I want a gun."

Uncle Colin came over before work to hang out too. He made a delicious cheese ball which you LOVED and sat happily on the table eating for a while!

Isn't it so pretty!? Uncle Co-wee did such a good job!

We made lots of other food but I didn't feel like we needed a picture cause just imagine a turkey and mashed potatoes and that's basically what it looked like.

As a side note, I look a lot like your Aunt Aub in this picture!

But I did make 2 scrumptious apple pies and a chocolate pie!

And we had plenty of whipped cream to go with it all!

Grandma Tracey brought you a new shirt that says "Mommy and Daddy's favorite present"

And you ate your first bowl of cereal while wearing it!

Of course you just scooped a fruit loop on the spoon and then picked it up and ate it, but you did manage to get it to your mouth sometimes!

Then right before we took them to the airport we went out to lunch. Daddy and I were so tired because you woke up at 1:00 in the morning, stayed up until 3:00 and then slept in our bed because you wouldn't go back to sleep in your crib! A few days later we found a molar growing in so you must have just been hurting a little.

Daddy was so annoyed because he just wanted you to go to sleep but you were being so cute and happy, even though it was the middle of the night. He was so nice to let me sleep while the two of you hung out and watched TV. He loves us so much Kacie!

And to end the week, we went to Ikea and The Outlet Mall. I hadn't even thought about the fact that it was black Friday but we don't make it out that far very often so we had to stop by those two stores. Luckily they weren't busy and we were able to get you a new shiny pair of shoes! You can't really tell but you were carrying the bag for us cause you know, they were too heavy for your dad to hold!

And lastly, this little gem downloaded to my Facebook. I'm not 100% sure who it is… (Kassidi?) but it's funny when people take pictures not knowing they will download to my profile!

We love you a lot!

Love,

Mom and Dad
