I thought that it was time for George to get the spotlight picture slot since it was his first Thanksgiving! I know that I am an old hat at Thanksgiving by now, being that it is my 3rd but this year, I was even more thankful than last year because I have a wonderful brother to love!
Aunt Melissa came in town to spend Thanksgiving with us this year and we were so glad to have her. She is always so much fun. Nana and Mama were much more prepared this year. They had almost everything ready by the time that Mimi, Grandpa and Melissa arrived. This year there were no fires or injuries so I guess that Aunt Melissa brought good luck too!
You know what else she brought? That's right, presents!! She brought me two puzzles and George some peek-a-boo toys. One of my puzzles makes animal noises and the other is the alphabet. Right now, I am really interested in which letter represents which person. George likes his toy because when he shakes it, it makes noise and he laughs.
Everyone took turns playing with George and me all day long. I always love times when all of my favorite people gather around us to give us all the attention we could ask for!
It was a really pretty day so we got to spend a little time outside. I showed Melissa my table and I also liked making George laugh by grabbing his foot. I can make him laugh more than anyone else. He loves me the most (sorry Mama!)
The next week, we spent the night with Mimi and Grandpa one night. Mimi let me decorate my tree and showed me how to put the ornaments on the branches. It is so beautiful but everyone thinks that it is even better because I decorated it! When I got home, Mama showed me the pictures they sent and asked if I had fun decorating Mimi and Grandpa's tree and I quickly corrected her and said "no, A A Harmie's tree!"
As you can see, I am a pro when it come to putting the ornaments on the tree now. Since George is really into pulling the ornaments off the tree, I can help Mama and Daddy by replacing them. Sisters help out their brothers like that!
The next morning when I woke, Mimi and Grandpa realized my parents forgot to pack my jacket so I got to borrow my Daddy's old Basketball jacket that he wore when he was little. I like to call it Daddy's Baby Jacket. It was a little big but it did the trick in keeping me warm. Plus, I just look so darn cute!
That weekend, it snowed! I was so thrilled and could not wait to get out in it! I was glad to have Daddy's Baby Jacket because I wanted to wear it in the snow. I wore my mittens and bundled up so that Papa could show me all of the cold, white, beautiful goodness outside. George got to see it too but just for a second because he it too little. I love to say "George too leetle."
At first, I was a little apprehensive but Papa held me tight and so I was not scared. Mama got the experience on camera. It snowed a whole inch and a half! Huge for Alabama!!
I made my hand prints in the snow and Mama thought that it was really cute so she took a picture of it. She has a picture of Gretchen's paws in the snow from last year. We will get George's next time!
Then, I thought that it would be fun to make snowballs. Well, at least until my hands went numb and then I was over the snow really quickly! Mama had a great idea on how to make my snowballs into something beautiful!
I helped Mama make the perfect Alabama snowman. You know that can't be that big in Alabama so we have to be thankful for what we are able to work with! It was my "Baby Leetle Noman!"
I know that this is really random but we all LOVE George's Fat legs!! His thighs are just adorable and chunky! He has gotten really mobile and loves to pull up on everything so we are getting lots of great views of the chops!
That afternoon, Mimi and Grandpa came and picked us up to spend the night with them so that Mama and Daddy could have a date. George and I were dauled in our Alabama dress in honor of the SEC championship! We are really great at doing our part!
George tried to help decorate the tree but he is not quite as coordinated as I am. Like I said before, I think that he likes taking the ornaments off more than putting them on! Maggie was very interested in learning his technique!
Then it was time to don my apron for Christmas craft time! I like it because it has pockets and I like to keep my hands warm. I have one at home and like to wear it when Mama wears hers!
We attempted to make our annual hand print ornaments for everyone but neither George or I were very cooperative! They did not turn out as well as last year but it was still fun getting our hands dirty!
George was reading my blog from Christmas last year so that he would know what to expect and saw that I had a picture next to Mr Mistletoe and so he did not want to be left out! Mr Mistletoe was one of Mimi's favorite childhood toys (again, this one is a replica!)
To end the day, I got to decorate my very own gingerbread man! I think that I did a really great job if I do say so myself! It was a wonderful day! George and I were very glad to be where we were because Mama and Daddy's date ended up consisting of them taking turns in the bathroom during the entire game because they got the stomach flu! Very romantic, huh?! Mimi and Grandpa got it the next day...you gotta love daycare bugs that we bring home to the whole family...ahhh memories!
