Turkey Time

While I am a bit late in telling my story about Turkey Day, it is a good one. It is a story about sherriff's hats (I call it a cowboy hat), turkey pictures on my shirt, playing football with Daddy, yummy sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and cookies and, best of all, a story about the slide in the middle of Doll and Granddad's living room.


On Turkey Day, we woke up early and went on an adventure with Daddy. First, I ate some yummy pancakes. I ate lots and lots of pancakes. Then, Daddy took Lena Grace and me for a ride in the car and on the double stroller. There were lots and lots of people on both sides of the road and some people were running and the middle. Then we saw Mommy and Ms. Becki and Ms. Cyndi running in the road. And they grabbed me and Lena Grace (our stroller) and we ran (rolled) across the finish line with them. Everyone was cheering. This was my second race (you probably remember that daddy and I came in last in the 5k last spring).

After the Turkey Trot, we went over to Doll and Granddad's and there was a new toy in the middle of the living room. It was a great big slide, with a ladder and a basketball goal on the side. I played football and basketball with Daddy and went down the slide about 100 times. Great-Granddad, Nanny, Aunt Connie, Uncle Phil, and cousin Aaron came over too and Great Granddad went down my slide. On his tummy. That was soooooooooooooooo funny.

After we played on the slide for a while, we had a yummy dinner. And then we played some more. Auntie Rachel and Ms. Amanda came over for lunch. And even Lena Grace had some lunch. Here is a good picture of Lena Grace and Mommy.

Here I am with Auntie Rachel. Thank you for looking at our Turkey Day pictures.

And as the back of my shirt said, it's "Turkey Time."

Happy Holidays to all.....

Our Louisiana Friends

I am sad. So sad. Because my friends from Louisiana had to go home to see their daddy. Ms. Erin, Luke, and Emilie came to visit us from New Orleans last week. We had so much fun. Luke and Emilie are 3 year old twins. So we had four 3 and under in our house last week. Daddy said he thought there were 10 of us.

We did lots of fun things. We played with bikes and ride on cars. I showed Luke my tools. Emilie showed me how to feed her baby doll with a bottle. We all took turns playing with Lena Grace.

On Saturday, we went to the Discovery Center and did lots and lots of fun things. I really like the huge "eye" and Daddy took a picture of me, Emilie and Luke. I'm not really sure what that look is on my face....

The discovery center has a supermarket where you get to pick out all the "food" you want and take it to the "kitchen" to cook. What do you think of Sissie on the scale? I think she fits perfectly.

Is that a car? Or a boat? I know one thing -- it's not a box!

Hands up. Or as the Imagination Movers would say, stand up, get down, turn around, turn around, turn around...

More pictures or our adventures to come later....

Holding Lena Grace

Last week, I asked Mommy if I could hold Sissie (my name for Lena Grace). This was the first time that I asked to hold her. Of course, Mommy said yes. She let me hold Sissie in the yellow chair in Sissie's room.Mommy told me I had to be gentle and couldn't squeeze Sissie too hard. Of course I was gentle. Doesn't she look happy?

I had a lot of fun holding Sissie. I hope Mommy lets me do it again!
