Jillian's First Thanksgiving

You may be wondering how Jillian's first Thanksgiving was...well it was amazing! She started off Thanksgiving week by hanging out with Daddy while I went back to work. They had loads of fun.

They played with Elmo

And they hung out in the baby carrier!!

Then Jillian ventured up north to help Nana make pies!

Then she went to her Aunt Jen and Uncle Mike's house for Thanksgiving dinner!

She hung out with her little cousins

 

Our lovely hosts who hosted Jillybean's first Thanksgiving dinner!

If you're wondering if Steve and I made a cornucopia made of dough, the answer is YES! 

And if you're wondering if we made a cheeseball in the shape of a turkey, the answer would be OF COURSE!!

Jillian watched Daddy examine the turkey

Then she hung out with Aunt Jen and Eliza

Then she watched mom hang out with her little BFF - I loooove her shirt :)

Then Jillian watched Daddy and Uncle Mike deep fry a turkey!

She supervised while the men got the fryer rolling

**Stay tuned for an amazing video of the deep frying turkey extravaganza...!**

Then Jillian snuggled with her beautiful auntie!

Then she tried on a turkey hat with mom and dad!

Then she sang songs with Nana

Then she and Uncle Phil taught mom and dad some seriously amazing soothing tricks! I'd tell you what they were, but they're patented and copyrighted by the amazing Uncle Phil!

Then Jillian supervised the carving of the turkeys

Then she met her beautiful friend Christina, who was born just a few weeks before she was!

Then she got entertained by her cousins and new friends!

Then she held Daddy up before the tryptophan took over...

Then later throughout the weekend she kissed Grandma!

Then she learned how to FLY!

She loves to fly to Grandpa!

Then she got to hang out with Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, Auntie Theresa, Uncle Dave, and Aunt Rachael while mommy was Christmas shopping on black Friday!

She got to meet Auntie Theresa! She was so excited, I think they're BFFs already...!

 

She loved hanging out with Uncle Dave

Mommy was working really hard on Black Friday :) LOVE our matching shirts (thanks Mom!!)
