Turkey Lurkey Day!

Daddy's already falling behind on keeping up with things, but I'm making him at least give a Thanksgiving status update. We got to go down to Uncle Kevin and Aunt Valerie's again this year and it was so much fun. Last year, I couldn't really keep up with my cousins too well, but this year I was right in the middle of everything! I'm so good at going up and down stairs now. Mommy and daddy still think that I'm going to fall down and bonk my head, but that only happened once (outside of the few times my cousins were pulling me down the steps).

I sure did have fun playing with Grant, Vanessa, Alaina, and Zachary all weekend. I'm still a lot smaller than they are, but I'm sure I'll catch up with them one of these days! We sure ate some great food at Uncle Kevin's. I had the hugest plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and rolls for Thanksgiving dinner and I ate the whole thing! It was crazy because I ate more than some of my older cousins. Guess daddy's appetite is rubbing off on me....

After we ate, we got to take some pictures with the whole family. Daddy acted like this was a really big deal and got out a fancy camera stand and made everyone look a certain way. He took like a thousand pictures until he had the "perfect" one. The cousins and I thought he was way too serious and gave him our best silly faces to prove it.

We also got to see Aunt Robin and Uncle Bryan for our second Thanksgiving dinner in two days. That was awesome because we got round two of wonderful turkey dinner (fried this time). Also, Aunt Robin bought me a cute dress. She's always spoiling me rotten... I did get a little jealous, though, because she bought Brantley a stuffed doggy that is huger than the stuffed ducky she bought me when I was little. Mommy acted mad and said something about not having a big enough house for those kind of toys, but I think she can move some of her clothes or something so buddy and I can have a sweet new animal to lay on.

Mommy and daddy talked a lot about something called Black Friday. I'm not sure what that is, but it sounded like they might get up really early in the morning to go shopping, or something. That didn't really make much sense to me, because I know the stores are open all day, but sometimes adults do silly things. Fortunately, Pa wanted to go bowling, instead of shopping, and that's what we got to do. It was so much fun and I almost made a strike!

I had so much fun with all of my cousins, I can't wait to see them again at Christmas. I'll bet we'll have even more adventures this time around. I guess that's about enough excitement for one night. I sure hope dada gets the pictures right with this one, so you can see how much fun we had. Can't wait to see what he puts up!
