| Thanksgiving, Behind the Scenes |
 |
| Mmmmmmm... |
 |
| Adalyn wonders how you get butter from pumpkins. |
 |
| "Mom, I'm busy eating, don't disturb me. Oh, and it's delicious!" |
 |
| Mommom and Adalyn give thanks for the delicious meal before them...and for the many awesome leftovers ahead. |
Ah, Christmas Friday, the day after Thanksgiving which is spent fueled on leftovers preparing for the next big holiday.
 |
| The Goldilocks Tree - not too small for Daddy, not too big for Adalyn, but just right in between. |
 |
| Ninja lends her wisdom but never her own paws. |
 |
| Uh oh, a thief has run off with half of our Christmas tree! |
 |
| It looks like Ninja is helping, but believe me, she never dirties her paws. |
 |
| "Mommy, are you going to help or just stand there all day taking pictures?" |
 |
| Oh no, Adalyn has glitterbombed herself with one of the ornaments!! |
 |
| Mommy finally lends a hand to help decorate the tree. |
 |
| If you look really hard, you can see a certain sparkle to Adalyn's glow. |
 |
| TADA! Our Christmas tree! (Actual size) |
 |
| It's a sad day when you realize your Christmas tree is in danger of being dwarfed by a toddler. |
The holidays are hard work - especially with all that eating. Time to relax and unwind.
 |
| Adalyn crawls into bed with Daddy and giggles after stealing Mommy's side of the bed. |
 |
| The monkey is so delicate and small that his bed consists of one pillow and one teeny tiny blanket. |
Adalyn sings the hit song, "Honey Bunny, Tutti Frutti."
Uh oh, it's a big diaper walk!
