It's Turkey Time

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We celebrated with Matt's parents, and Cara's cousins, Morgan and Grant. Here they are 'cooking' their own thanksgiving dinner. They had everything they needed - a portable cook stove, a stuffed turkey (literally, a fabric cooked turkey), cranberyy sauce, gravy, and even pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

As for the real dinner, Cara enjoyed most everything, even trying mashed potatoes for the first time.

Cara had lots of fun playing pretend with her cousins, and taking "baby" for a ride in the doll stroller mimi had on hand. 'Baby' must have driven miles in that stroller, as Cara pushed her everywhere, often transferring her from stroller to bed multiple times in just a few minutes.

We also attended the annual Cold Turkey Plunge, where brave souls jump into the Atlantic Ocean on Thanksgiving morning to raise money for charity. Unfortunately we were a little late, and missed the actual plunge by a matter of seconds (since that's as long as anyone stays in the water) - but the kids made the best of it by playing in the sand. It actually almost felt like a day at the beach, since it was actually 60 degrees out!

Cara also started putting words together, saying things like "want daddy" "go ride" and "more pease." Other words she's added this week include "rice" "Morgan" "Mimi" "Ella" (elevator), and "juice." Now that we're home, I think she's going through attention withdrawl.
