Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.  I love the month on November… I love fall… I love family… And I love food.  This was Mollie’s first Thanksgiving.  In 2012 she was born just after Thanksgiving and this year her birthday was before, so she went an entire year without a Thanksgiving. 

Grandma made a sweet little turkey shirt for her and we went down to Mamaw and Papaw’s to celebrate with our Texas family.  By this time Mollie was trying to walk and into everything.  She enjoyed chewing on some old thread spools of Mamaw’s.

Mollie’s First Birthday!

October 26 – November 26, 2013

DSC02820Oh my goodness… I can’t believe that our sweet girl is a whole year old.  Time really does fly!

Mollie Grace, this month you celebrated your first Halloween (dressed as Princess Leia), Had your last formula bottle and started drinking milk. On November 7, you got your first ear infection and took your first antibiotic.  We were thrilled you made it so long without one… both your parents have bad ears.  On Halloween you took 12 steps at Nana and Papa Bill’s house, and by November 11 you were walking!  We celebrated your first birthday on November 16, a few days early.  And, on November 21, you met your new cousin Avery. Oh… and this month, you tried your first bite of Chick-fil-a chicken…. Daddy was proud.

Mollie’s “Cute as a Button” First Birthday Party!

I had a lot of fun putting together Mollie’s first birthday party.  It was fun from the very beginning and I loved every minute.  Except the part where my baby grew up so fast….
