Thanksgiving in Tennessee

We went to Tennessee to visit family for Thanksgiving. Callie and Kevin had both been extremely sick the week before, so we were glad we were able to go. We went up Wednesday and hung out at Nana's house. Thursday Callie was still not feeling well, so she slept though most of lunch. Kevin and I enjoyed some great food courtesy of my mom. We had turkey, ham, stuffing, mac and cheese, cranberry sauce, and anything else you could imagine. It was soooo good. We went out to Granny's house after lunch to see Nini and Pop. Callie also got to see more family members. There were about 30 of her aunts, uncles, and cousins for her to talk to. Callie got to open up a few Christmas presents that day. On Friday Callie was allowed to open up the rest of her Christmas presents from Nini and Pop. She got a lot of great stuff. She got a big piano, baby doll, puzzle, and lots of other goodies. She had a really good time hanging out with family.

Southern Girl

I guess Callie really is a Southern Girl. When she says hello or goodbye, she says, "Hi Ya'll, or Bye Ya'll". I must say that more than I think I do. I know she did not get that from Kevin! I have never heard him say Ya'll!!

Time to Eat

Now when Callie is hungry, she lets us know. She will go to her chair or put on her bib. If that wasn't hint enough, she will start saying "My Meal". I am not sure where she learned that, but when she says "My Meal", she is ready to eat.

Halloween

Callie was a dragonfly for Halloween. We went to Crossville so she could trick or treat at family's homes. She loved wearing her outfit. I think she thought she looked pretty. She kept saying Owwwww. We went to see her Granny and Aunt Gladys. She got lots of good candy. Then we came back to my mom's house. Her Great Grandma and Patch were there. Callie enjoyed opening the door for trick or treaters and giving them candy. The trick or treaters loved it too. Callie was very generous on the candy!

Walking backwards

Callie just learned how to walk backwards and she loves it. She loves to walk backwards up hills. She thinks it is so funny.

She is talking a lot more these days. She knows where her nose, ears, eyes, and mouth are and knows how to say each body part. She also says thank you when someone gives her something and your welcome. At least she has manners :)
