Thanksgiving

I can't believe that we are already beginning to recycle holidays now. Makenna was only 2 days old on her first Thanksgiving and now she is a year old; my how time flies. This year she got to enjoy Thanksgiving a little more because she got to eat all of the yummy food. She especially liked Grandpa Venable's mashed potatoes and Grandma Secord's raspberry jello. Makenna is more of a vegetarian as we have tried numerous times to give her puree meats (yuck!!) or real meats and she turns up her nose at them every time. I have even tried mixing them in with other food that she likes and she still won't eat meat. We were a little shocked when on Thanksgiving she was eating little pieces of turkey until we found out that she was just storing them in the side of her mouth and spit them out when she was finished with all of the non-meat food...hehe. Maybe one day we will be able to get her to eat meat.

On Thanksgiving we went over to Renee's house (Toby's older sister) in the early afternoon where all of her food was made from scratch; it was so yummy. Makenna got to see five of her cousins and have fun playing with cousin Zachary's toys. In the evening we headed over to my mom's house and we ate our second delicious meal over there. At the end of the night we put Makenna in her pajamas and she relaxed with Grandpa Secord on the couch. The funny thing is that this is exactly what she did last year on Thanksgiving too; only she was sleeping last year and not holding the remote control.

I am coming to the realization that it is very difficult to get any good pictures of a one year old because she moves too fast for the digital cameras. By the time it actually snaps the shot she is making a funny face or only half-way in the frame. So with thanks to my two very patient sisters, amazingly we did end up getting one good family picture.
