Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was very enjoyable. It was nice to have John home from work for one day! John's parents decided to take everyone to a restaurant rather than cooking this year. On the way to the restaurant I made John stop by the photobooth so we could take photos for our Christmas card. Who knew it would be so hard to get a good photo of a 4 week old baby! I tried my hardest to get her to wake up. I undressed her, ticked her feet, took her out in the cold but nothing worked!



After dinner with the Martins we went home and John, Eleanor and Amelia all took a nap. I took our photobooth photos and finished our Christmas card. We then headed up to Farmington to have our second dinner with the Baldwins. The company and the food were great!

The past few weeks Eleanor has insisted on being called Savannah. She is quick to correct ANYONE who calls her Eleanor. It's starting to drive me nuts! Well Thanksgiving was no different. She made all the Baldwins call her Savannah. Then she got tricky on us and switched her name to Sleeping Beauty (Rachelle helped her dress up as Sleeping Beauty).

Before we sat down to eat, Eleanor went up stairs and changed into a dress-up. Before she would come down the stairs I had to make an announcement that Savannah was coming down the stairs. She was dead serious about it!


Overall our Thanksgiving was fabulous. The only bad thing about not having Thanksgiving at your own house is you miss out on all the leftovers!! Maybe next year John and I will brave it and have the celebration at our home!
