Claire's First Thanksgiving

Here are some pictures from Claire's first Thanksgiving. We spent the day in Syracuse, NY. My grandfather passed away this June and we all wanted to spend one more holiday at his house before it is sold. Claire did great on the plane and loved spending time with her Uncle Andy and Uncle Jeff and her Grandpa!

Pictures are as follows
1) Jeff, Megan, Andy and Nate
2) Claire and Grandpa
3) Claire feeling Uncle Andy's beard
4) Our 31 lb. Turkey that was delicious
5) Nate, Claire and Megan resting after dinner

Look at my new Hat

Megan's mom has learned a style of knitting and made Claire this adorable hat. She thought it was pretty cool. I just threw it on her while she was eatting lunch because it had just come in the mail. Thanks Nana

Our little lady

I was asked to put some Halloween pictures of our little lady on here. She looked so cute. I just wanted to put her in with all the flowers and snap away. Too bad it was pouring down rain! We did go trick or treating with umbrella in hand. It was a great first halloween.

Our little explorer has discovered the dogs bowls! It has become her favorite place to sneak to when nobody is watching. I can't really figure out what parents with little ones and dogs do??? I Guess somebody has to suffer, either the dogs or the baby. I think I will move them into the laundry room. This decision came after I found Claire eatting Lacey's food. I guess she thought it had more "texture" than the jarred variety I give her.

The leaves here are beautiful!!! That is one thing I don't miss about Texas. The trees are changing and are turning every color of the rainbow. Well, maybe not purple...but red, orange, yellow. We attempted to use our tripod technique to take some family pictures. It was more difficult than we thought because there was no one to get Claire to look at the camera. These were taken in a neighbors yard. We would try and make her smile and she would just look at us! Oh well. We will try again another day.
