21 Months and Thanksgiving 2012

This week before the new year begins, I am catching up on events that have happened this year. November was such a fun month! The weather was just beautiful, so thankfully we still got to spend a lot of time outside, which is Hutson's favorite.

A day at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham with Garrett and Alicia.

He looks up to his big buddy so much!

They had a blast playing chase.

He was so happy, but giving me a funny smile. 

Then we went to a car show. 

Hutson got to "drive" the cars. He thought that was really cool.

"Cheese"

Thanksgiving

Since Phillip was on call in November, we decided to tackle Thanksgiving ourselves. My parents came in town too, and we had a great time cooking Thanksgiving dinner. (It's really not so hard, especially when your mom's there.)

Phillip is a natural carver.

They had to make sure it it tasted okay.

Bumpa and Hutson

Grammie and Hutson

This is how beautiful Thanksgiving day was.

On Friday we took Grammie and Bumpa to the park. I showed them my many skills.
