Thanksgiving 2011

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful and relaxing. We switch every year for our families, we are space cadets because we honestly thought we were down here in Salt Lake City last year, when truly we were up in Cache Valley last year...so we goofed up and spent Thanksgiving at the same place for the past two years. 

We have no idea how that happened! Who forgets where they were for big holidays?? Oh well.

Isla has grown up so much, she is a little person now, walking everywhere, and talking/jabbering non-stop, she knows that I'm "mamamamma" and micah is "dadaaaa" she rolls our names out. She is enjoying picking anything she is able to lift and carry it around. She adores all her stuffed animals. She loves blankets - she's not particular about any one blanket in particular, any blanket will do. She's a snuggler. She loves blowing kisses and saying "HIIIIIIII" to anyone close by. She's getting to be a little screamer/screecher in public places...we'll need to discuss this with her, because it's getting pretty loud lately.She loves to be tickled - her laughs and giggles are so fun to hear, so we make sure to tickle her MANY times a day. She loves food still - especially noodles, she loves slurping them in. Cheese is a favorite too, cheddar, swiss, provolone, cheese sticks, parmesan cheese, cottage cheese...you get the point :) She loves being chased, and even makes a snarling noise while she chases us back. 

She loves all types of mediums: finger painting, drawing, and coloring. So I have to make sure to pull out crafts to do for the holidays: we started Thanksgiving with the standard turkey hand. She thought it was hilarious to trace her hand. 




She's pretty good at keeping the crayons on paper, and loves to carry her artwork around all day! Tomorrow we'll start on all the Christmas crafts that are a must for little children to do!!
