Thanksgiving break

We're back! We had a wonderful trip to see family for the holidays. We drove in the evening this time and Molly slept the entire way both directions. It was the fastest we've ever done the trip since the baby arrived. (I can still call her a baby for two more weeks, right?)

We're still decompressing today, but here are a few photos from the week.

Molly at the children's museum (for a video of Molly there, go to Anna's blog: http://mamakandcompany.blogspot.com/2008/11/cousin-fun.html)


Molly eating jelly at the diner (I shudder to think how much jelly she consumed this week).

Molly dancing with her great grandmother to Christmas music. (She started dancing a few weeks ago. She doesn't do it on command, but if a song moves her you look over and see her bopping.)

Molly eating Thanksgiving dinner. The squash was her favorite.

Lucy giving Molly some water. So helpful!

I wish I took more pictures. There was the great moment at the diner when Jim had Molly and Lucy both in his arms bouncing around and cracking up. There was Black Friday shopping -- Molly and I made it through until about 3! Molly went down a slide for the first time at the children's museum and loved it. What a great place that is! She and Lucy hugged each other, swatted at each other, played together and did so many cute things that I can't remember them all. Molly stuck her hands in my Thanksgiving pie Cool Whip and in my hot cocoa's whipped cream. She also learned baby signs for dog and cat (she was really into the cats at her grandparents' houses this week). Whew!

One thing we missed was the trip into see Nan, but we hear she got our blogs set up on her computer so big hugs and kisses for Nan!!!
