2nd Thanksgiving

I have not been great about posting because we continue to have camera problems. We finally found the box to our camera, so we are going to send it in to get repaired. I am crossing my fingers that it is under warranty and free. I did get some pictures of Ashlyn on Thanksgiving, however I took them with my Mom's camera and need her camera cord. As soon as I get the cord, I will update with pictures.

Ashlyn had a great 2nd Thanksgiving. It is amazing the difference between her first Thanksgiving and her second. We started the day bright and early. Ashlyn and I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. She was not too interested, but she really stopped and watched the Abby Cadabby balloon. After the parade, it was bath time and Ashlyn got dressed in a pretty dress. We headed to the Sunbird to have Thanksgiving brunch. We met my parents, Grandma, brother, sister, and brother-in-law. The food was wonderful! Ashlyn ate lots of watermelon and my brother kept giving her whipped cream. She liked that a lot!

After we ate, we headed up to Buena Vista to eat at Joey's Dad's house. Ashlyn and I had nice, full bellies, so we slept the entire car ride. Ashlyn was very excited to see her Grandparents. We watched football and played with Ashlyn's Butterscotch pony. The food was WONDERFUL as usual. Ashlyn really liked her Grandparents food. She ate lots. We had her practice eating with a spoon which she enjoyed. After we ate it was getting kind of late and it had started snowing in Buena Vista. Ashlyn stayed at her Grandparents house for the weekend. It was hard to leave her, but I am glad we did. The roads we AWFUL on the way back. I am glad Joey was driving. Icy, snow packed roads seem even worse when it is pitch black outside. The other scary thing is there is no cell phone service. Anyway, we survived and made it home safely. I am just glad that Ashlyn was not out on those roads with us.

Joey and I have been enjoying our child-free weekend. We both spent time with friends. We all went to a movie last night, which is something Joey and I never get to do together anymore. Ashlyn is having the time of her life at her Grandparents house. She got to go to a light parade Friday night. She also ate Mexican food for the first time, which I heard she loved! I am also glad that she is at her Grandparents, because I have a nasty viral respiratory infection. I hope since Ashlyn was not exposed too much, she will not get it. That it the update for now. I will try to get the camera cord tomorrow and post pictures then.
