Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone.  Whew! 

Last Wednesday started out a little hairy, but everything worked out.  Plus, how could I not relax once I saw the cutest little Indian ever?!

Jarrod's parents joined us this year in Arkansas since Jarrod worked over the holiday, so that meant I hosted my first Thanksgiving meal!  I was a little ambitious when it came to the turkey, but it was worth every bit of it.  My dad makes the most amazing cornbread dressing, and it has been my favorite Thanksgiving food since I was a little girl.  I remember being all dressed up for the day, sitting at my grandma's house with my dad and helping to tear up biscuits and cornbread to make the dressing.  It is my favorite, so I made it and we also had sweet potatoes, rolls, green-bean bundles (Jarrod's fave) and of course PIE!

SUCCESS!

After dinner, we had a dance party.  Ok, so Collin danced and we all giggled.  He has taken to making this silly face.  Depending on who you are, you might think he looks like Popeye or a pirate.  He scrunches his face up, closes one eye and acts silly.  Well, Thanksgiving night he was dancing while making this face and it was high-larious!

Cheese!

On Friday, Collin and I went to the Little Rock Zoo with Nonne and Papa.  A lot of animals weren't outside, but the ones who were seemed to be really frisky because of the colder weather.  A couple of monkeys were especially wound up and Collin LOVED watching and imitating them!

I couldn't get this picture right side up, but here is Collin Henry short of breaking his ankle in this thing while I ooh'd and aww'd over a gorilla and her baby!

Saturday we did the required Christmas decorating.  I was a little sad to put away my fall/Thanksgiving decor.  Like Collin, I've grown fond of turkeys.  In fact, I asked him if he wanted to get matching turkey tattoos and his response was an emphatic, "Shh-yeahhhh!"


Happy Fall, y'all!
