Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!

 We had a very nice Thanksgiving in our little mountain cabin. GG was unable to make the trip as she was stuck in FL battling a horrible case of bronchitis, yuck! Poor GG.

The morning began with a turkey & this smoker...

Then, Myles made some gravy.

 He took his job very seriously.

 While the turkey was in the smoker, we played at the park & fed the ducks.

Later, we had our yummy "way too much food for this small a group" Thanksgiving dinner!

The night ended with bedtime books with Papa.

And new matching Christmas pajamas! 

(Because it's officially Christmas time! Yea!)

Papa Visits…which means there's work to do!

First things first, unload stuff.

Next, take out tree.

Play on stump.

Get stuck in the mud. Then get unstuck.

Help with new driveway.

 Become expert raker.

Sometimes, in November...

We go to the park.

And pose for the Christmas card.

We hang on the couch. 

Ollie refuses to exit a couch feet first. It's head first or throw himself from it.
 So,  sometimes I'll pull out the sleeper sofa for peace of mind. This is what it looks like.

We play with stickers.

 We participate in a book exchange & get super excited when a new one arrives in the mail.

We prepare for rain.

We sweep…the rug.

We slide into a table leg & look like this.

We read books…upside down.

We play outside.

 We make a cork-painting Thanksgiving/Autumn craft.

Ollie just wanted to eat the paint. And corks. And paper.

And paint pinecones.

We prepare for the cold weather.

We relax with our brother. Again, on the sleeper sofa.

I have weaned Ollie off his bottle completely. This marked one of his last.
Myles wanted to give it to him.
