Monday night at 6:30pm after a LONG weekend:) P.S. this is my FAVORITE thing to do with her

Well, once again it is catch up time. Here are some pics from our wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with Kevin's Mom Debbie and our friend Hoai from Portland. It was the first turkey I have ever cooked and I wanted to brine it. So we soaked it for 24 hours before we cooked it. Then Kevin made two pies and Debbie and I made the rest. IT WAS SO GOOD. We will brine every year now! Loved it:) Isn't it funny how for Thanksgiving everyone cooks for hours on end only to sit and eat all in 20 minutes! Thank you Debbie and Hoai for all your help:)

Last weekend was busy. We made a day trip to Portland and back with Parker and then had two holiday party/functions to attend. Our flight left Wenatchee on Fri at 6am and we changed planes in Seattle and then arrived in PDX at 8:20am. We then left Sat morning and did the same trip back. Parker rode 4 planes in 24 hours and was A-mazing. She went with the flow, was so curious and smiley at everyone, and never cried! I think we have a little traveler on our hands. Kevin and I were talking about how we can't take wait to take her everywhere, Italy, New York...Disneyland...camping! OH how I can't wait for these wonderful adventures to start.

One last thing, Parker has officially grown out of 90% of her newborn clothes! I filled up a rubbermaid bin full of stuff that doesn't fit. It made me kind of sad. She also started sleeping in her crib on Mon night. After we got back from Portland and she slept in the pak-n-play, she wasn't too fond of her bassinet anymore. She is for sure a crazy squirmer. They said at daycare that the current 4 and 5 month old babies do not move as much as she does in her crib. She likes to be free for sure. So now, in 1 week, no more newborn clothes, no more newborn diapers, and no more sleeping in mom and dads room.....It is going TOO fast!
Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and staying warm.
