This Thanksgiving was a busy one. Jacob got to make deviled eggs, Addison got to try deviled eggs. lol. Jacob loves cooking and baking which has gave me several ideas for Christmas presents. I'll tell you about Eli's Christmas list later. We went to Steve and Robin's for lunch with everyone else in the family minus Traci. :( Addison had her first bite of party potatoes (which she made the funnest face...not good face.) She also had her first bite of chocolate pie and drank out of a sippy cup. Both were a success. Then we rode around for a little bit to get Christmas presents ideas before all the maddness started, took a short nap, then headed out. Addison got to experience her first Black Friday and was excited and awake the entire time. We went and shopped til 5am and she stayed awake all except for when we were in the car. Then she slept from 5 - 8:30 and was back up ready to go again. She'll be perfect for Black Friday shopping when it comes her turn to do shopping. :) This is first year that I've ever got all the kids completely done before December even got here. I had a really hard time with the boys this year tho. They're not really into anything except video games. I asked them to make me a Christmas List and here's what Jacob's said: PSP, Tron figures, wrestling figures, and Transformers. Short list. Now comes Eli's: PSP, bow & arrow, and a small FRIDGE. What kind of 7 year old wants a small fridge?!!! So yeah, they were hard...but done! (And no fridge sorry.)
Sunday night we went to the Fantasy of Trees...just barely. They closed at 6 and we got there a little after 5. So they got their faces painted, paid for a sign that they have to decorate at home, Addison peed in her clothes, and then got a picture with Santa. So when I post the picture, that's why she's in summer clothes. It was what I just happened to have in the diaper bag. Overall it was a good Thanksgiving tho and I'm already ahead for Christmas. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and love you all.
Oh and if you haven't noticed, I don't have many pictures of the boys. I basically had to give them the sob story to get them to take one with Santa and Jacob's always telling me to take pictures of Addison and Eli usually ducks his head when he sees the camera. Addison's just not to the age where she can avoid it yet like the boys. :)
