Thanksgiving Weekend

We hope everyone had a restful and safe Thanksgiving weekend. We celebrated, mostly, by staying home. Tim's family came to our house for Thanksgiving so we had an opportunity to use the good china and cook our first Thanksgiving for the family. Overall it went pretty well. Abby went back to Collinsville with Tim for Friday and Saturday and Megan and I got some quality time together as well which was nice. Plus time to get a couple things done around the house.


Of course we had to go visit baby Lily again. Abby loves to hold her and give her kisses. She's just yawning in the picture, not crying.

Here's my little turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Megan got to try some mashed potatoes and I also believe she tried some whip cream. She ate plenty.

Here is Aunt Betsy with Megan - Betsy has a little over a month left until "Skittle" will make his/her debut. Abby says it's a girl and will name her Skittle Girl.



A small attempt to get a picture of the girls together.


Megan playing with her spinning top toy. Her hand eye coordination is getting much better.

No cat is safe around Megan, she'll tackle them down. Obviously LaBousch could get away but he doesn't mind it much as he lets her catch him all the time and play. Unfortunately she comes up with fistfuls of hair, but has a great time doing it.

Tuckered out after church - I thought she kind of looked like a garden gnome with the pointy hood.

Trying to get outside to help Daddy put up Christmas lights. She now reaches for the top and tries to pull up. We might have to invest in a stronger gate!

We did manage to get some Christmas decorations up yesterday. No tree yet, we're a little concerned what Megan is going to do with it, but I guess we'll find out. Abby is loving putting up all the Christmas decorations. She has gone through her ornaments multiple times. This week we'll hopefully put the rest of the indoor ones up other than the tree. The outdoor lights look really good, Tim is even going to buy more I think because he says we need lights on the bushes. We'll see how that works out. Snow is expected on Wednesday so we'll see what we can get done.
