Happy Thanksgiving

Catch up time!  

This November, we started a new tradition for our family (thanks, Em for the idea!).  My friend, Kim, my mom, and I made these Thankful Trees out of felt and fabric and we hung ours on the back of our front door. 

Each night we would climb in Bailey's bed and tell at least one thing we were thankful for.  It was so fun and sweet to hear what Bailey would say.  Mentioned almost every night was "my baby sister" and some of our favorites included Nana and Papa, Grandma and Grandpa, Hannah puppy, guacamole, carrots, mountains, beautiful curtains, flowers, books, her princess dress, clean laundry, the beach, lollipops and milkshakes.

We were able to spend Thanksgiving in Temecula with Craig and Patti this year.  Since we were so close to the San Diego Safari Park (although Thomas took the scenic route!), we decided to drive down a day early and go to the park.  We enjoyed seeing some of the animals we missed the first time, as well as a baby gorilla and this close up with a cheetah!

Bailey wanted to look through every telescope!

Gorgeous day and weather and view!

We enjoyed getting to relax at Craig and Patti's house!

Happy Thanksgiving!  We are so thankful to be a family of four and for all of our family and friends.

Bailey took this picture for us and then decided to take lots of pictures and they turned out pretty good as you can see below.

Thomas found a great deal on a TV and actually
 went down to Sears on Thanksgiving night with
Craig and Ada to see if he could get one, but people
 had been standing in line ALL day long and
there was only a limited number of TVs.  Crazy people!

Thanks, Patti for taking good care of us!

Maybe Bailey will be a photographer when she grows up.

She also learned to take some self portraits!  :)

Thanks, Carnes, for adopting us for Thanksgiving!  Can we make our reservation for next year?
