He then subjected Sister to his stocking cap. Luckily our girl is a good sport.
On Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving at my parent's house. It was an exciting day - Hadley's first Thanksgiving!
While the rest of us enjoyed the most juicy turkey, Hadley sucked on a baby feeder filled with organic banana. After a rocky start with the rice cereal she doesn't seem to mind sucking on a banana out of this little mesh bag. Maybe next year she can gnaw on a turkey leg.
We celebrated the day with a lot of extended family. Don't these two look like trouble?
Corey and Miles are great little buddies these days. There's never a dull (or quiet) moment when these guys are together. 
Then there are these two little cuties - celebrating their first Thanksgiving together. 
They're the next two in this rowdy bunch. I love their Thanksgiving outfits (I couldn't resist buying Hadley a corduroy dress with a turkey and bows on it). I think Had's was feeling Bradyn's hair here. They were having a moment.
The whole gang.
After a wonderful holiday (I am feeling much better and no one else is sick...for the moment) we enjoyed the rest of the long weekend and prepared for Christmas. Mike and Miles put lights up on an outside tree.
Miles and Hadley actually play together much more now.
We hung out with my family more on Friday. Is there any holiday with better leftovers than Thanksgiving? 
After all of the activity I think that most of us didn't even get out of our pajamas on Saturday.
Sunday we started decorating the house. Miles has been hearing about Santa here and there but we haven't really talked about him too much before this weekend. Out of the blue he asked "What's Santa?" I said, "He's a man who lives in the North Pole and brings good boys and girls toys on Christmas." After a pause Miles said, "Nooooooooooooo!" I know - it's almost too good to be true! 
While some families venture out into the woods to cut down a fresh evergreen tree we headed to the new Menards and picked a tree out of the lot.
We did a lot of decorating with reminders every few seconds to "look with our eyes, not our hands." I've got to say, this isn't our most attractive Christmas tree this year but 2 broken ornaments later it's still standing and at least we all like the glow of the lights and smell of the pine.
Our big 6 month old experienced many firsts this week. She also visited the doctor for her 6 month check-up. She's still a healthy and growing girl. Here are her stats:- Height: 26 inches (55%)
- Weight: 16 lbs 6.5 oz (70%)
- Head: 16.8 inches (50%)
This week we are going to try oatmeal and avocado. She's not very keen on eating and usually pretty sleepy during our dinner time so we might have to have her teachers at school feed her. We'll see how this week goes first.
Our stockings are all hung - I loved adding Hadley's to the line this year - and everyone in my family is tucked into bed.
