November 20th: Getting Ready for the Holidays...

This week was a time to prepare. The Cogdill''s were going to North Carolina for Thanksgiving, and the Monk's were preparing to stay in Charleston with the Tober family. Alyssa and I did a lot of cleaning, cooking and shopping. It was crazy, but as always the BEST TIME EVER!!! I love raising babies with my sister. Love you Lyssa!!

Highlights from the Week:

- Crawls into Mommy's lap for story time: Loves to read Pajama Time by Sandra Boynton and Each Peach, Pear, Plum. We have read each of these books so many times that both Rich and I have literally memorized these books.
- Mountain climber: Blakely climbed 22 steps in 2 minutes at Auntie's house (with A LOT of supervision). Richard might not be wrong about her being a Mountain Climber! HA!
- Crazy cooking with Auntie: The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Auntie and I...
-Took care of 2 babies...
- Made 2 appetizers...
- Made sweet potato casserole...
- Made Mimi mashed potatoes...
- Made 1 pumpkin pie....
- And packed Auntie up for the Mountains... ALL in 90 minutes! Whew! Go us!

Picture Highlights from the Week:
