We had a wonderful 9 days in North Carolina visiting with family and friends for the Thanksgiving holiday! The weather was gorgeous in the South this time of year.....60s and 70s with sun each day! We spent the week enjoying coffee and the newspaper for a couple hours in the morning, playing outside at the neighborhood park and new Raleigh park (complete with a train, paddle boats, and tons of playground equipment!), running in the Turkey trot, enjoying meals out and in (Trish cooked a delicious turkey dinner!!!), attending the UNC football game, spending time with Adam and Victoria, and seeing some of our good friends! It was a very relazing and much needed vacation! We missed Wally....but our great friend Emily was nice enough to stay with him and give him his much needed attention! :-) Thank you!
We returned to a busy last week of work and activities. Two highlights of the weekend were going to the Holidazzle parade on Nicollet Mall Friday night, and Addison's first time ever sledding today! Friday night several of our neighborhood friends and us bundled the kids, packed hot chocolate and headed downtown to watch the adorable floats filled with all of the favorite cartoon and Disney characters! Addison loved the lights and seemed to really enjoy herself! It was a fun evening! Today, we enjoyed an exciting afternoon taking Addison sledding for her first time! She seemed to love dressing up in all of her new snow gear, and breaking in her new pink sled!
Addison is still very focused on language the last couple of weeks.......with her new obsession being "da????" as she points to about every object in the room. We are pretty sure she is asking "that?"......so we tell her what each thing is called. It's so much fun to watch her learn! We have also been working on "All done" when she finishes her meals. It's so cute when she gets it right....she claps her hands and grins ear to ear! :-)
We've got our stockings hung, and we are ready for the holiday season ahead!!!
