Tis the Season.....

for being very busy! I guess it isn't going to slow down either. Our family went to Tennessee for Thanksgiving. We had a really nice visit with Matt's family. It was Mattie's first time leaving our state. We went to Bristol Motor Speedway for their Christmas lights show. Matt is very excited to say he actually got to drive on the race track...even if it was only 5 miles an hour. (Pictures to come later I hope.)

Mattie has been quite busy herself. She is getting to be such a big girl. She now walks from her daycare class to the car while holding my hand. It may take us an hour to get there but she loves it. She is climbing on anything that she can reach. She also has found the love of cabinets and drawers. Let's say there is no rest for the weary anymore! I've also found that along with all this new found freedom has come the ability to whine when things don't go her way. Mattie has always been happy go lucky so it is strange hearing her fuss. It usually only last a couple seconds before she is distracted but I'm sure we will be in for longer episodes as she gets older.

Our next hurdle: Mattie, Christmas tree, and wrapped presents. This should be interesting!

Thanksgiving Fun

Mattie had her Thanksgiving feast at school. All the kids were adorable in their pilgrim and Native American outfits. Mattie even had Moccasins that we purchased during our summer vacation in the mountains. I am so thankful that she is at the school daycare where I work. It is wonderful seeing her everyday and participating in these fun events. Here are some cute pictures.

See Mattie's turkey handprint!

I love this bulletin board with all the kids hand and footprints made into turkeys!
