The One About Thanksgiving

I had to the luxury to have off all last week. I had so much fun at home with my Peanut. I thought I'd get my house in a like-new condition or at least close to spotless  but boy was I wrong. Playing with blocks, singing socks, dancing around and practicing tummy time left little room for house cleaning. But that's okay, 10 years from now she won't remember this week probably, but I'll remember we spent a few days just the two of us bonding. And I'm okay with that. It made me wish I could stay home with her more often. However, we've gotten accustomed to having a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our back.

We packed up Wednesday after my husband got home from work and ventured the two hour car ride south where we spent the remainder of the week. We caught up with friends and family, found out two of our good friends will be welcoming a peanut of their own soon, took the Peanut to her first Christmas tree lighting, and attended an engagement party for our best friends. A great week for sure. It made us really miss being "home".

 This was the Peanut's first Thanksgiving and my husband's first Thanksgiving without his mom. A bittersweet day for him and his brother and dad. She was surely missed. The Peanut handled the mass of people (ie my family) great.She's finally gotten the hang of eating  with a spoon and is LOVES sweet potatoes. It's hard to believe next week she will be 5 months old.

We're decorating the tree tonight, super excited about that! Below is a pic of the Peanut and her cousin who is 2 months younger than her--yes, he is as big as she is.
