Thanksgiving

I can't believe the difference that one year makes in Thanksgiving plans.  Last year at this time Ellie was a little baby that was only eating baby cereal and sweet potatoes.  This year Ellie had turkey, ham, veggies of all kinds and her favorite food of all is still sweet potatoes.  It was so bittersweet remembering that Ellie last year had the cutest onies that said "Thankful for Mommy", while this year onies have been replaced with jeans and shirts. We also started the family tradition of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  It was so much fun to play with her in the floor and watch her excitement when she was big bird.   I absolutely love the age that she is in at this time.  She loves to play, read and figure things out, but still love to sit on mommy or daddy's lap to read or snuggle.  I know that she is growing fast.  I only hope that I capture every minute that I can, and always show her how important and loved she is by us.
