Natalie's First Thanksgiving

November 24th

Natalie had a wonderful first Thanksgiving. As usual, the guys played golf as part of their Thanksgiving tradition. Natalie and I went over to my mom's house and spent some time with Kristy, Sarah, Patrick, my mom, and Nannaw. We watched the Thanksgiving parade, helped get the turkey ready to fry, and relaxed. It was a great day. Natalie tried her first "real" food too! She had sweet potatoes for the first time...and not the Gerber pureed version either. She had the real deal! Aunt Kristy always makes sweet potato casserole so before she added all the yummy ingredients, we put some potatoes aside for Natalie. She seemed to enjoy them for the most part, but the texture was new for her. Natalie was even lucky enough to get behind Uncle Thomas' camera! Natalie and I made special Thanksgiving shirts to wear, and I even made Natalie a tutu. It was my first try and turned out to be super easy!
