We had a nice Thanksgiving, and celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary all on the same day- just how Thanksgiving fell this year- right smack on our anniversary. I think that having Thanksgiving fall on our anniversary this year, just made everything so much more special~ Reid's first Thanksgiving, our first Thanksgiving in Colorado, and as a family of four, and our first Thanksgiving without our families- except we were lucky to have Allen's mom here to share it with. Lots of firsts!
Hayleigh was a sweetie all day. We started out making beds, and getting cleaned up. Hayleigh decided she wanted to hold her "broder". The rest of the day we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade- a tradition for us, and we took lots and lots of pictures, besides cooking a smaller Thanksgiving dinner.

So, we had a great dinner, and Allen's mom packed her stuff to leave out the next day. Allen ended up taking her up to the airport so we wouldn't have to get everyone out.
The next night, we ended up going to Best Buy and Murdochs for sale items. Allen got his Christmas from me and the kids early...imagine that. We got him an Ipad. He absolutely loves it, and has the photos I take automatically shared to it. He says it is a lot more convenient to take with him to work- lot less bulky than a laptop, and doesn't even want a laptop now- so he says. I ended up feeding Reid in the parking lot at Best Buy- I think it was the 2nd time I've fed him in the excursion in a parking lot now. We got home later, and decided to rest for the night.
Saturday, we went back to Murdochs to exchange jeans from the night before, and had McD's for lunch. We ended up going back to Best Buy again- Allen had to try to get the receipt that we found was missing when we got home from the night before- the system was down, so I had to call it in later on. We made it back home to cook supper, and to move bedroom suites around. Reid was getting Hayleigh's dresser, and we had to finish decorating it. We moved the dresser in like 1 minute, and I let Allen go with the decorating.
We spent the rest of our night cuddling, and Allen played one of his games. We ended up going to bed early, since Allen had to leave out early the next morning for work. I'll save Sunday on for the next post- me flying solo with a newborn and 2 year old....God Help Me~
