Just a few things...

I have had a few things I have by dying to blog about but they had to wait as to not spoil the surprises for others. The first is Shelby's made her first art project.

One of her favorite friends "Erica the Great" came over to help. I was so glad for the help because who else would have taken the pictures?? She made handprint turkeys for some of her relatives who would not be spending Thanksgiving with her and one for her grandparents who would be seeing her on her first Thanksgiving. Here is a little glimpse of her project in progress. On the back was this sweet picture of Shelby in her Thanksgiving attire.

I can only think of one thing that could make this little outfit more precious......

Cousin Henry in the boy version. SOOOOO CUTE!!!!

The children were quite taken with each other and very curious about one another. I think this is the first of may sweet picture of the two together!

You may notice the cute hat and bow that Shelby is wearing. I bought the hat but I made the bow. Here is a close up picture of it.

Shelby also made her first batch of Chex Mix- the thing we are responsible to bring each year.

Shelby had fun at her first Thanksgiving and has slept most of the day today to recover from it. She had a fun outing this morning with Aunt Meredith and Henry. Since we got back she has slept for 5 hours so far.

Here is another little surprise I couldn't share before. This is a picture of Shelby in her Great Grandmother Bea's baby dress.

Bea is 89 years old. This dress was so fragile but looked so beautiful.

OK one last dose of cute and then I have to go.

Thanks Kate for the Pilgrim lady hat.
