Turkey, Rain, Rain, Snow, Christmas Tree!
Dear Peep,
After two beautiful days over Thanksgiving weekend full of lots of outdoor play and food we've had three days of constant hard rainfall! We enjoyed two days of good eating...a turkey and ham with all the excitement that too many side dishes bring seasoned eaters. First at Grandma P's and Bahboo's with Uncle Gary and Cousin Tony, and Mommy's cousin Rick with his three kids on Thursday. You enjoyed the woods and filling your shirt pockets with acorns. Friday was a repeat at Grandma LaJean's where we ate and played. GG was celebrating her 94th birthday so of course we
added some pieces of cake into the mix. Daddy's sister, Aunt Krispie and her partner Aunt Currie, his aunt and uncle and cousin David, Angie and their five kids were all visiting. You sat at the "boys' table," and played outside jumping and endangering your little body trying to keep up with the big dudes.Normally we don't get our Christmas tree until a week or so into
December but you've been SO exuberant about seeing Christmas everywhere we bought it Sunday at a local tree farm, Twin H.
We finally found a tall tree that reaches high to the ceiling! Decorating it sent you into a tizzy, along with listening to carols and Daddy singing along you were flapping around the room with such enthusiasm that I do believe your arms nearly flipped off of your body and knocked that gorgeous tree right over. You rolled, jumped, squealed and hung as many plastic ornaments on the lower three feet that your little arms could get up before Daddy and I were just over it and decided it was time to tame the Christmas beast. As the old adage of "just one more" was completed we whisked you quickly off to bed and by the time I counted to one hundred twenty you were sleeping. It is so much fun to feel the new breath that you bring to the holidays. I am beginning to see them as I did as a kid again, inflated and filled with electricity.
Dear Peep,
