Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving! We spent the holiday celebrating in Austin with Mimi and Gramps, Bryan, Steph and the twins. Gray and Kinsey have recently joined the 1 year old club and are on the move- which makes for a super fun time for all! We loved every minute and can't wait to spend more time together at Christmas. Here are some pics of all the fun.

Silly Annabelle

Here are some pics from last week that I can't resist posting. She is so adorable! AND getting so big. She looks more like a toddler in some of these photos.

Last Week

I am late to post. Sorry! It was a busy one full of playgroup meetups, neighborhood hangouts and the COUSINS 1st bday party! So exciting. I will post pics on the bday party later but here are my fav photos for the week.

This Week

It's beginning to look a lot like Fall..... the leaves are turning and starting to fall on the ground. We are having some very windy days, typical of this time of year. A was busy this week finding pine cones and playing in piles of leaves in our neighborhood and at the park. She is very entertained with putting all her goodies in a bucket or in her new car (it has a front trunk).

A did a lot of arts and crafts this week as well. I am trying to get her to understand Thanksgiving. Not sure that she gets the holiday but she knows a turkey says "gobble, gobble." Some of the crafts included-gluing feathers on a paper turkey, coloring a turkey hat and we used some of the leaves we found on our walk to make cute leaf turkey collage. That was my favorite.

Just on a side note Annabelle is officially 16 months now and is definitely developing a personality. Some funny things that she does/says: She knows the Lakewood Park and gets upset if we drive by and don't get out to play. She knows the word NO and she uses it frequently. She still loves books and will sit and read them all day if you let her. She knows how to say Elmo and sometimes confuses the word Mama with Elmo. She likes to Meow. There is nothing more exciting to her than to ride in her new pink car. She likes to talk the most in the afternoon after her nap. She has a GREAT smile and laughs hysterically when you chase her. She likes to lift up her shirt and point to her belly button. She pulls all the pillows off the couch and jumps in them at least one time a day. Annabelle likes Tillie's dog beds and can often be found reading books in them...

That's all for now. Enjoy the pics of the week.

Kyle Warren Park

Such a cool park. Has a NYC vibe since its located in downtown. It stretches several blocks over HWY 75 and has something for everyone. Kids area, dog park, putting green, table tennis, food trucks ect. So fun! Here are a couple of pics from our visit today.

This Week

This week we were fortunate enough to have Dad home. We had so much fun playing around the neighborhood and out on field trips to Owens Farms and to Kyle Warren Park. Annabelle enjoyed having her Dad home to play. She is definitely going to miss him next week!

Here is the week in pics. Enjoy!

The ghost say BOOOO! Annabelle loves visiting the friendly ghost down the street.
