Thanksgiving Weekend

Hi!!!

Wow what a fun few days! Sorry I haven't written lately little munchkin but we've all been sick and feeling yucky, so I haven't been in the mood much. But!! I have tons to tell....not all in this post...I want some things to have their own separate Blog Titles. It's THAT important. :)

So....this year for your SECOND Thanksgiving, your mommy baked and cooked away and made all the Turkey Dinner fixin's and we just stayed home and enjoyed the soooo very beautiful day! We ate, and played and rested, and ate and played and rested over and over again. It was just simple, and cozy and perfect. Later your mommy and daddy lugged you over to a neighbors house to put you to sleep and they ate again! Fun fun!! It was just a pleasant holiday with family and a few friends. Wonderful. Happy second Thanksgiving babydoll! Gosh you are growing so very fast.

The days to follow after the big Turkey day we just spent playing as a family. We went to the Opryland Hotel to see all the Christmas Decorations and to have lunch. You had a blast looking at all the sights, the river that runs through the hotel, the christmas trees, and of course, riding the ESCALATOR! (We only did that 10,000 times...not too much :) ) You usually eat pretty healthy so you got a treat that day with hamburger, fries and even some coke!... I got a cute video of that...boy did you love THAT stuff! :) I taught you how to dip your fries in ketchup and you were just adorable.

You also got to throw pennies into the wishing wells and the fish ponds. You thought that was the coolest thing EVER and was deeply saddened when the pennies ran out. Here are some cute moments from that day.....













The next day we went to a new place that just opened up near our house called Monkey Joe's. It's Tennessee's largest indoor inflatable playground. What a blast THAT was!! For only 5 dollars for all of us, we could play and slide and climb for as long as we wanted. AND....because you were under 4, we got to play on them with you!! I think I had more fun than you even did! We didn't have those things when your mommy was little.... :) I think this may be one of our new favorite places to play this winter!!










On Sunday afternoon we took you to the mall to ride the little train. You ADORE that little train....I can't even explain it enough. You've been a couple other times and now you see it from like 15 stores away and take off RUNNING and hootin' and hollerin' you are so excited!!! People are amazed at how independant you are...you just get right up there, give the lady your ticket and jump right in that train. You LOVE riding that thing and are often doing the famous Caden face as you come around. Cute, cute cute! My heart is just mush for you my love.....You make my day every day, do you know that?




Thank you so much for making this Thanksgiving a memorable time that I will never forget! I love your guts little man..... :)

Love, Mommy
