Thanksgiving Fun!

Isabel's first Thanksgiving was a wonderful, busy day, filled with great food and even better family!

We started the day with lunch at my Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Ranel's house.  Everyone was so excited to see Isabel that she got a little overwhelmed and clingy at first, but soon enough she warmed up and was a little social butterfly.

She didn't try much of the Thanksgiving fare since she had lunch before we got there, but she did taste some pumpkin pie and whipped cream.  When that got a little too addicting, we switched to cranberry sauce which she ate up in no time!

After spending some time visiting with the family, she caught a nap in the car on the way home.  After whipping up some more delicious dishes we headed to the Linley Thanksgiving dinner.  Isabel was happy as ever to see her cousins Owen and Cooper!

This time she did try a bite or two of turkey and sweet potatoes, but overall she wasn't very interested in eating anything.  I think the busyness of the day was starting to get to her! After another scrumptious meal, we were all stuffed!

As we were all gathered in the living room visiting, Isabel began babbling up a storm with such intent. We don't have a clue what she was so focused on saying, but Aunt Jessie caught it on video for us!

 It was a wonderful first Thanksgiving as a family of three, and a special one for the Linley side who had two little ones celebrating their first Thanksgiving!  We have had more than we deserve in things to be thankful for this year and are so blessed!
