Thanksgiving 2012

For Thanksgiving this year, Michael took off the whole week since he had several vacation days to burn.  The first half of the week we spent with my family and that second half we spent with Michael's family.  It worked out really well.  Lindsay had to work Thanksgiving and the days following so she was able to spend the first of the week at my parents with us.  I was really bad about getting the camera out so I don't have many pictures from the week.  We had a great Thanksgiving meal on Monday evening after my dad got off work and then we had another meal later in the week with Michael's family.  Harper had a rough Thanksgiving week teething.  She was cutting all four of her molars during that week and she was pretty miserable.  I'm just very thankful that we had extra family around to help distract her some but she was still pretty clingy.

Eden playing dress up over at Mimi's.

Harper found this little black purse and enjoyed carrying it around with her.  Such a little lady=)

My cousin, Joni, brought over her girls one afternoon and I got to meet her youngest, Lynlee.  She is such a doll.  She is several months younger than Harper and Harper enjoyed loving on her.

Harper sporting a big girl headband and thinking she's big stuff, oh wait, she is!

The girls hanging Christmas ornaments.

Cuddling and watching cartoons after naps.

Harper's silly face.  She loved getting to wear the big girls head bands.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving my mom and I took Eden to see the Nutcracker.  She LOVED it.  It was really fun watching her expressions while watching it.  She thought it was the coolest thing when the ballerinas did what she knows how to do from taking ballet.  I had never seen the Nutcracker so it was really fun being able to see it with Eden for the first time.  After the show we went and ate at the Flying Fish.  Eden loves catfish so that was a good treat.  We may have to make the Nutcracker a yearly tradition.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
