Emma's First Thanksgiving!!

I apologize for taking so long to get this posted, but here is the story of Emma's first Thanksgiving:

We woke up Thursday morning to a beautiful rainbow out front. It was mostly cloudy and a bit rainy in the morning, but as the sun started to come out, we were able to see the rainbow.

Then we spent most of the morning just hanging out. Emma took naps, Dave watched football and I just hung out doing whatever I wanted. It was my birthday as well, so I allowed myself a little luxury! :)

We finally got packed up and headed to Orange County sometime in the early afternoon so that we could spend the rest of the weekend with Dave's parents. We arrived shortly before dinner and then of course we got to eat dinner - yum, yum!!! Then later we got to have apple pie with icecream for my birthday. It was a wonderful day and here are pictures of Emma in her Thanksgiving outfit:

We spent two nights in Orange County hanging out with Dave's parents and a couple of different sets of friends. We took off Saturday afternoon. We were going to try and go get our Christmas tree that day, but Emma was just a little bit too worn out, so we saved that for Sunday. We headed off to Home Depot and bought the first tree we looked at, then we spent the rest of the afternoon putting up lights and decorating. It was a great way to end Emma's first Thanksgiving weekend! :)
