Happy Thanksgiving

C is always happy but especially so when she's looking for quail. She and mommy were riding in the back-a new experience for C. 

C has her own toothbrush and paste at grammys house.

 Best part is brushing her tongue and spitting

And the fish was this big! She's so chatty it's hard to believe we were worried about her speech.

C had a lot to say to my friends Ann and Debby. Of course it was safest when close to mamma

There always seems to be chores..C didn't like the noise the blower made so she picked up leaves with the reacher.

It was a good lesson in eye hand coordination.

Mommy helped blow the leaves off the deck 

Naturally, we had to have corn dogs after all that work! C is sharing hers with me. I had to save myself for all that leftover turkey in the fridge. 

It was a beautiful afternoon so we all ate outside

Thanksgiving week was a busy one for me...First my friends Scott and Debby came down from Camano Island, WA to celebrate the feast with their son Jeremy who had a big announcement-he's engaged! S&D are very excited for them. I'm excited because they might  be living here within a couple of years, and I can hardly wait! 

Then, I went to dinner with my friends the Rogers and the Aitkens. We had a fine meal and left stuffed-shared a lot of good jokes, too.

Then Kris, Sandi and C came for a second day of Thanksgiving. Again, more food of course!

Perfect Grammy Weekend

Well, it was a perfect weekend! Kris and Sandi took a weekend away to celebrate their birthdays (guess who is 40?). It was an adult-only (the Cassidys went along, too) weekend in Reno. I got the special instructions (how to figure out the TVs, DVDs et al) and then they were off! Of course, the moms were much more traumatized than C.

This artic fox was C's birthday present. She asks that you move your car out of the driveway so she has more room to drive. After making all the stuffed animals comfy, it was time to ride.

Ooops! Forgot the seat belt. Did you notice the fashion statement? C picks out her own clothes and insists she dress herself. She also has a new hairdo-very perky.

I should send this to Wal Mart. 

Grammy found the perfect Christmas present, but didn't know the rules about letting C know it was two months away. Every time her moms called she told them about her new smart cycle. So, first thing mommy had to do was put the smart cycle together. Mommy is adjusting the pedals. 

C figured out how the handlebars work and how the pedals make the trip faster. It's got lots of different games to learn letters, numbers, shapes and colors. C is up to 24 piece puzzles. She's a rock star! I had such a great time, shopping, eating out, going to church, and going to a movie theater with my very special toddler babycakes!
