Happy Thanksgiving, little turkey-butt!

I am so thankful for our family, especially our happy, healthy little girl. I'm sorry I called you "little turkey-butt", :) it's just that you were getting into EVERYTHING you weren't supposed to. You are so funny, but I can't let you know that even when you're being a little mischievous, you're adorable. I'm grateful for your ability to make me smile no matter what kind of day I've had. I'm grateful for your kind and gentle spirit, even if we need to work on the kind and gentle petting of kitties. I'm grateful for your energy, which might be featured on a Red Bull commercial one day. I'm just so thankful that you are our little Kathryn, and I love you so much.

Oh, and I'm thankful for Grandma Christopher being okay even after her kitchen gymnastics routine (complete with blueberry and cherry pie juggling) went awry. While I'm happy to report Grandma made it through with only eight stitches and perhaps a slightly bruised ego to match her face, hands, and knees; the pies did not fare so well. She always makes the holidays memorable- I can't wait to see how she'll top this next year. She's set the bar pretty high for herself*.



(*which is by no means a challenge to take up pole vaulting, Grandma.)

A side note- in the background is the clock Kathryn was totally obsessed with the entire weekend. We have no idea why.

Here are some Thanksgiving pictures. Sorry for everyone I missed- photography comes second when your kid is all over the place!

The Thanksgiving spread... yum!!!



Kimi and Ralph's fancy new kitchen...



Yes, I blurred the booty shot.



The play pen



Well we know she's not photogenic because of her Mommy



The motley crew













Bailey- Rex and Patti's dog (Kathryn's new best friend and toy "cleaner")



Siblings



So inanimate, that Rob.



Anne Geddes has nothing on me!



Time to brave the storm and go home...



Is it just me, or is everything she does endearing?
