Giving Thanks

We had our families down for Thanksgiving this year. M and I spent the few weeks before Thanksgiving getting our house all decorated and in order for the big day. Then we spent Wednesday and Thursday cooking dinner for everyone. It was a lot of fun. We had turkey breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, yams, tex mex corn, regular corn, stuffing, dressing, green beans, cranberry sauce, cranberry jelly, and homemade rolls. We made everything from scratch and it was delicious. My mother-in-law brought 2 apple pies and 2 pumpkin pies which were also yummy. We all had a very enjoyable thanksgiving. My family especially had much to be thankful for this holiday. We have truly been blessed this year.

No Longer My Baby

I forgot you can't rotate videos like you can pictures; so the video is sideways, sorry. But here is L standing without support.

Here is L taking her first unassisted steps. I am sure it is because she was trying to keep from falling, but we were still very excited about.
