Blair's First Thanksgiving

Blair had a wonderful first Thanksgiving. We all slept in a little bit and then woke up to watch the Macy's parade. Nick and Blair stayed in bed and hung out. Mom and I made a few side dishes and desserts to take over to Nick's parents house. We all headed over to have dinner later in the afternoon. Blair showed off her newest ability of sitting up by herself to Grandma and Pop Pop. We had a great dinner of turkey, stuffing, green beans, two styles of sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, garlic cheese grits, cranberry sauce, gravy, coleslaw and cucumber salad. Blair sat in her own chair at the table with us and played with toys while we ate (playing consisted of picking up a toy, shoving it in her mouth then throwing it onto the ground, me picking it up and then the whole thing was repeated many, many, many times). After dinner, we all relaxed and watched a little tv and then ate dessert and Blair took a nap. We came home and Blair ate pears for her dinner. We had a fantastic day. We are so thankful that we have great family and friends and a wonderful little girl that brings joy to our life everyday.

Here are a few family pictures from tonight. (Don't forget to scroll down to the post below to see Blair's first artwork!)
