Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for this year! I'm glad to have 5 days off with Chris and Caroline.

Wednesday I had a baby appointment.  Caroline got to go to this one and sat in Chris's lap during the whole exam. When the doctor listened to Ali's heartbeat Caroline commented that  it was really loud.  I think she was just excited it was my appointment and not hers. Ali is doing great- She was laying sideways and measuring right where she should.  

After the appointment we made a quick stop across the street at a huge playa lake where hundreds of geese were getting a drink.  Caroline had a sandwich bag full of gold fish to share with the geese.  As soon as we walked/ ran up there the birds scattered.  Caroline threw the crackers anyways and seemed pleased with herself. 

After feeding the geese we went to the Science Spectrum and discovered the rock wall. Although she didn't get very far up it was amazing watching her problem solve.  She only looked back once for help but watched an older kid do it and decided she could do it herself.

Thursday:

We went over to Nana, Papaw and Mimi's house for Thanksgiving dinner.   Eating for 2 was amazing -even better was the leftovers.

Caroline ate a whole twice baked potato by herself and about 4 bites of her daddy's. She also discovered she likes Mimi's pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

Nana already had her tree up and Caroline loved looking at all her Santa ornaments and all her snowmen or olafs as Caroline calls them.
