Thanksgiving and Santa 2010

Happy Thanksgiving! Colin stuffing his face says it all . . .

We had 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year. Sean, Colin, and I had lunch at Aunt Donna and Uncle Jeff's with all my mom's side of the family. We had good food, some fun, and fellowship! Then we went home and took a nap. After our nap we headed to the White's to eat dinner with Paw Paw and Granny. Over all we ate too much, but had a nice Thanksgiving. We were reminded how blessed we are by our families!

Colin had to go play outside, he really wanted to get in the pool but we had to draw a line somewhere. So he played with the pool noodles. He sword fought Jo Jo and beat up Cousin Jeffrey with the noodles!

Colin really likes the kitties at Aunt Donna and Uncle Jeff's house but they don't like him. The cats hide! Uncle Jeff caught Carmen the kitty so Colin could love on her. He really wanted to hold her!

Colin loves to play! He was trying to get this guy in the truck to drive, but he wouldn't fit which made Colin very upset. He still kept trying!

This guy is made to drive the truck, Colin wasn't getting so mad at him ;>)

Colin, Mama Dee, Jo Jo, and I went shopping on Black Friday which is our tradition. Colin did great, we shopped from 8 am-2 pm! I was proud if him, but we did have to ride some trucks and trains and go see Santa :>)

Santa Claus is coming to town!
We have been to see Santa twice. The first time was 2 weeks ago, we went to Bass Pro. They have a great Santa. Colin wanted to see him and talk to him, but when it came time to sit in his lap . . . that wasn't happening, so we had a family picture with Santa!

Checking Santa out, not sure about this bearded guy!

Family picture :>)

The second time we saw Santa was Black Friday, while we were shopping. Colin and mommy waiting to see Santa :>)

Santa gave Colin a little gift, a penguin toy.

Colin talked to him and gave him a five, but he wouldn't sit in his lap.

So mommy was in the picture, too!

19 months!

This face says it all! Colin was a MESS at his well check appt, running around and playing while we waited on Dr. Klein, up until the point that he had to get the shots! He was climbing on chairs, playing in the sink, trying to open the cabinets, and eating snacks. Colin is 26 lbs and 32 inches. He is growing and really thinning out, except for those chubby legs, go figure!

Colin likes to be right in the middle of things, so he was helping Uncle Jeff or "Kitty" as he calls him, in the kitchen.

Colin and Pops having fun playing during the Florida vs Vandy game :)

Colin kept telling Pops, "shoulders, shoulders!!"

Colin playing with the bowling set, he liked kicking over the pins!

Colin, Jo Jo, Dee, and I did the breast cancer mall to mall walk this month. It was a great experience! Colin did wonderful, he strolled and watched all the people, there were so many people, it was amazing!!

Colin getting some protein in before the big walk, he loves cheese :)
