Thanksgiving

Hello, I know it has been a while and Braylen has changed so much but I/we have been so busy with her that I keep forgetting to document it....ugh! She is in a stage that is A LOT of FUN! All those crazy teeth have come through and she isn't as grumpy anymore. The chick...is very independent....loves to run and go up and down the stairs.....loves to walk Addie and LOVES to boss her around...ha! She is still very much a cuddler and has just entered the stage of saying "Mine"....not good...right? I am assuming she learned that word at playschool but we are definitely working on that! I have TWo favorite parts of my day with Braylen...when we wake up....she is really fun for the first two hours and then when she goes to bed, she gets really restless and wild and wants to do summer saults on the bed....just wants to goof off...but I LOVE it. I am considering putting her in gymnastics somwhere around town.....(if any of you have suggestions)....she just loves to jump and crawl on anything so I think gymnastics would be an excellent way to release some energy.

So...on to Thanksgiving. Our whole family went up to visit Elisabeth, Adam, and Bodie....it was WONDERFUL! Mom and Dad left the Sunday before and Hannah, Braylen, and I left the Monday before and Grant had to work so he flew up Thanksgiving morning....it all worked out perfectly! The kids really enjoyed playing with each other and that is where Braylen didn't want Bodie to play with her toys. Braylen is so use to playing with older kids and having them take toys away from her that when she realized that she could control lil Bodie....she did and would pull the toy right away from him. ANywho, us girls went shopping a couple of days....we all ate amazing food, and really just relaxed and enjoyed each others company! Elisabeth and Adam were wonderful HOST....she cooked us meals and took us out to a famous BBQ restraunt....Montgomery Inn....and we got to tour Cincinnatti! It really is a cool city.....!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving....we went to the City and went to a Pub and got to enjoy the downtown life....we did it in the afternoon with the kids and then came back and watched football and hung out with their neighbors. Elisabeth and Adam are truely blessed to have such fun loving neighbors.....it waas a GREAT time!

More pictures to come! We kind of had a photo opp in Kentucky but I want to wait just a little bit in case some of us choose to use them on the Christmas card.....I don't want to be the spoiler...ha! I still need to share Braylen's photo session with Santa...i will do that next as well!
