Every year the Thanksgiving dinner gets better and better. I don't know if Daddy is perfecting his turkey roasting or if I just like more foods these days. Either way, our Thanksgiving dinner was delicious, the turkey was my favorite!

The Monday before Thanksgiving was the only day I had school for the week so I spent time with Mommy helping her make some of the foods for our Thanksgiving feast. We made the cranberry sauce together. Mommy cooked the cranberries and I ground them into sauce all by myself using the Foley's mill. We had a taste of the cranberry sauce and it was delicious!

The day before Thanksgiving we helped make the pumpkin pie! I was in charge of mixing together the sugar and spices. It smelled good- and it even tasted better when we had it for dessert on Thanksgiving! Cora and I also enjoyed watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving together in the new family room. I say that because the tables in the room were delivered and now all the new furniture is in the room and it looks great! I am thankful for the new couch, it is much easier for cuddling!
On Friday, we watched Mommy and Daddy decorate the outside of the house and played outside most of the day. Before I knew it, dark time (night) had fallen and it was time for a camp fire in the backyard! I had fun spotting and counting airplanes in the sky and we stayed up so late, we watched the full moon rise high into the sky!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving it was Daddy's birthday! I helped Mommy bake Daddy's cake. I wanted to make it into a fun shape for him, but he didn't want any shapes. Either way, I enjoyed watching Daddy open his presents and eat birthday cake with him to celebrate his 35th birthday! 

To cap off a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend, we went to visit someone special!! We went to Santa's workshop! Just like last year, I was very nervous and upset when we got there and I saw the big guy. I was anxious about what I would tell him and sitting up on his lap. With a little coaching from Cora, I was able to pull myself together when it was my turn and I was able to sit with him and tell him that I wanted a 'Mater guitar for Christmas. Then, Santa started telling me about his favorite part of the Cars movie with 'Mater! We had so much fun chatting together! Now that the Christmas season has begun - the Christmas carols are on the radio, decorations are on the house - it's only fitting that I sing Christmas carols in my bed before I go to sleep at night! Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star and Jingle Bells are my favorite song to sing in bed!
