Thanksgiving Weekend

We were surprised when Chloe came over on Thanksgiving Day and she was dressed like Pocahontas. She had made the little dress at Learning Tree during the summer and she wore it with pride today.

She had her hair pulled back into two braids and she looked oh so cute. She was so excited to be here and to have Thanksgiving Lunch.

When her mother brought her she also brought over her bicycle that we (our family) had gotten her for her birthday five months ago. She said that she could just now reach the pedals. We put it into the garage so she could ride it later in the day.

She has gotten to where she doesn't want you to take her picture and if she sees or hears the camera she will turn her face away from you or move her hands so it will be blurry. I just need a faster camera and it would solve this problem.

I went out of the room and came back in and bingo she was looking right at the camera. I can see now why she turned her head. Aunt Emily bought her some candy after Halloween and this was one of the pieces that she bought. The sucker is on the reverse side and this looks like a mouth on the outside.

When the door bell rang again we were surprised because we were not expecting anyone else, but when I went to the door I saw who it was. David (our son and Chloe's Dad) was standing there and was going to spend the day with us. This was a delightful surprise to us and Chloe.

Chloe was one happy little girl, she had a day with her daddy and was at her grandparents as well. She said, "It can't get any better than this." You can tell from the smile on her happy face that she was going to have a great Thanksgiving.

 

Mom asked David to come and help her in the kitchen so she could get things on the table, so Chloe came to see what was going on.

She needed some help to open some cans and he was having a little problem as well. Chloe was there to give them some advice.

The was time for some one on one before we ate lunch.....,

And some time for a little horse-play as well...,

 

Bring on the food Grandmother, I'm hungry. She will probably eat some turkey and that will be all that she will eat.

 Chloe is sharing something funny with her dad about the turkey.

She is so excited to be having Thanksgiving with her daddy, she is filling up his ears.

After Chloe had eaten some turkey for lunch and had gotten up from the table, she had gotten quite. This could only mean one of two things. She had either fallen asleep or she was into something that she shouldn't be into. After looking around for her I found her on the kitchen counter looking into the cabinets for something sweet to eat. She likes to open the bottom cabinets and used the drawers as steps to gain access to the countertop and then look thru the upper cabinets for Grand Mother's hiding places.
