Daddy took off for a run and you woke up shortly after he left...around 9:30. We hung out in bed watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. You loved the "balloons". Mommy ran without you do to the chill in the air, and you and daddy showered and dressed for the day.
After my run I showered and changed, packed up the turkey and headed to grandma and grandpa H.'s. Grandma and Grandpa Bishop and Helen joined the festivities as well as all of Grandpa H.'s family. GG was in Heaven this year so he couldn't make it (GG night night is what you say).
We ate and then walked down to the nature trail ( a sort of memorial to GG). All of your second cousins played and ran and laughed, it didn't take long for you to warm up to them. You carried around a ceramic baby duck from the
Nature trail, and jabbered away.
After our time down at the bluff, daddy, cole cole, Hannah, Gavin, Gwen and Byron played a version of tag that required retrieving an action figure from a flower pot and making it up to the deck with your whole team. It was. Wry entertaining to watch! You mimicked the running on the deck thoroughly enjoying the sound your shoes made on the wood.
Later that evening daddy went home to relax before work the next day ( just daddy, not you and I ). We stayed and put up the tree. It was really neat to put the ornaments from when I was little on the tree with my little girl.
It was a fantastic Thanksgiving...probably the best ever!
We went home late and Friday mommy got up early for practice and then we spent the morning with Cole Cole before he headed back to Columbia for work. We decorated more and you pushed your shopping g cart around outside insisting thy you wear a basket around your neck a a purse of sorts?!
After Cole Cole left, we spent the evening at Silver Dollar City at the Christmas celebration. We saw the lights show, you rode the froggies and the bugs and then we watched the parade. All of the parade characters came up to you to...you are just too cute!
After the parade we spent some time in the olde time church and I got a great picture of you smelling the tree!
You also loved they taffy store, I kept telling you it was like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...you really liked the taffy too.
On the way home we stopped for some fine dining at mcDonalds ( one of your faves already). You ate your happy meal hamburger just like a big kid, it was really cute!
We made it home late bit we do the entire trip! It was such a fun fun day! I could see us making SDC a little tradition for our Black Friday vs shopping!
