A cold front blew in Thanksgiving weekend. We warmed up by taking a brisk walk to the park and then played for a while. I let the men do the heavy lifting…pushing I mean:
Hud is rather obsessed with the tire swing at the park lately. He prefers when others are in there with him. If he sees someone get on it – he makes a beeline for it to join them.
Harper LOVES to swing1
It was a beautiful fall day!
We had a lovely Thanksgiving this year. We started out with our traditional Fletcher Family Turkey Trot:
After a quick run to the store for some last minute things, we sat down to watch the parade:
Hud’s fave!
Harper was not impressed:
Hud found a more comfortable spot:
We attempted ANOTHER picture of the two of them:
Hud is VERY patient with his sissy:
However, he was no longer amused at this point:
Or maybe he was:
(In Harper’s defense she had been sick with a cold for about five days at this point. Pretty much I didn’t set her down at all for TEN days. Seriously. Non-stop holding. For ten days. I love holding my baby girl, but my arms hurt after ten days.)
However swinging made her very happy:
Nothing says Thanksgiving like a little Buzz Lightyear:
With a little turkey frying on the side:
And no Thanksgiving would be complete without a little pumpkin smoosh…the pie pretty much imploded on itself when mom took it out of the oven. It was very reminiscent of the time I dropped a pan of baked beans down my legs and all over the kitchen in college…
Harper, our little eater, did not disappoint:
Hudson, our non-little-eater, also did not disappoint:
Our feast:
Brittany and Greg came to see us! Loved getting to see them!! Hud loved their new puppy, too. :)
So did Hannah. :)
It was a great Thanksgiving!
“Mommy, I am just hanging out”
That is one of Hudson’s favorite expressions right now. Along with:
“What are you TALKING about?”
“Nuffin’” (When I asked what happened at school that day. Such a teenager already).
“Mommy, you’re my best friend” (I will take that one!)
He is full of awesome expressions and fun right now. I love hearing all of the new things that come out of his mouth daily. I *must* start keeping better track because there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t laugh out loud.
Anyway, we were just hanging out one day before Thanksgiving…
