Big Bucks, Turkey, and Family -- Must Be Thanksgiving!

35 Weeks: November 23 - 29

We had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving. We left for my parents on Tuesday so Cody would have enough time to do some deer hunting. We really enjoyed seeing our family that we don't get to see enough and introducing Brandon to everyone.

Playing around! Brandon has started playing with the boppy pillow. He loves to pull it on top of him and then wrestle with it. Brandon is practicing his twisting and turning as he rolls all over that thing! Sometimes we wonder who is going to come out on top!

He's got me!

Who is going to win?

Twisting and turning

Hey, Mommy want to wrestle. I beat the pillow!

Brandon is getting very good at talking.


He looks like such a big boy!

Hey, what are you doing up there?

Adorable! Check out my two teeth!

Cody's Big Buck!

Cody went deer hunting on Wednesday morning, much earlier than I cared to go. My dad woke me up at about 6:45 (thanks Dad!) to let me know, "Cody got the big one!" My dad told me to get dressed and woke my mom up so she could watch Brandon (I am sure she love it as much as I did.) Then we headed down to check out Cody's deer. It was really hard to tell who was more excited - Dad or Cody. I think it might have been Dad! Dad and Cody got to re-live the kill over and over at Thanksgiving - and the story got better each time! He really did get a big one!

We gotta have one with Sparky.

"I surrender!"

Cleaning up - don't worry I would not post any super gross pictures.

Pops and Brandon - Pops told him all about deer hunting during our stay!

Pops is teaching me all sorts of stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving with a sleepy boy!

Mommy, Brandon, and Aunt Cynthia

Brandon loved Aunt Cynthia's necklace.

Yummm!

Dad and Cody left for the deer lease on Thanksgiving afternoon. This is the buck Pops shot while they were down there.

Playing with Aunt Cynthia! We got out some of our old baby toys. Brandon LOVED the cups. He spent at least an hour with them, and for Brandon that is forever!

Talking to Aunt Cynthia

So silly!

This is so fun!

Mommy, I like her. She is fun!

They are tasty too!

Like my new hat.
