Hayden’s First Thanksgiving

Today was a very special day and as I write this, I have a very tired little man.  Hayden’s had so much fun with his Gigi and Popi visiting that he just didn’t want to go down for his afternoon nap.  We had a great first Thanksgiving in our new home and very special guests to celebrate with us – Jamie’s Mom and Dad.  I was very nervous for our turkey, but it turned out quite well, and I’ll definitely keep the Friess tradition of getting a smoked turkey….always nice and tender.  My new recipes were a success (much to my relief….phew).  We had turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, green bean casserole, creamed corn, salad and crescent rolls.  Obviously, we have lots of leftovers for tonight and tomorrow.  We had lunch around 1, and took a walk  with Hayden to the playground, because it was a really mild day and nice and sunny.  He went down the slides for the first time and really liked it. We’re now getting ready to give Hayden a bath in his blow up bathtub, feed him dinner and put him to bed.  Then, it’s our favorite of dessert, leftovers and games.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  Hope you had a great one!  We love and miss you all!!!!!:)

 

 

Sweet Outfit Hayden

This picture’s for you mom.  I promised I’d send you a picture of our little guy in his Elmo slippers, so here you go.  This is definitely not the cutest outfit, but it kept him warm on our walk this morning.  What a cutie. 

Goodbye Old Friend – Hello New

Jamie and I decided to go to one of our favorite places for a nature walk today.  The weather was nice and we’ve been wanting to try out our new child carrier.  We were both so sad to say goodbye to the Bjorn, but Hayden is obviously way too big for it now.  Our little guy went everywhere in it and he always really enjoyed it.  So, it was no surprise for us that he liked this carrier as well.
