So very thankful.

I’m not really sure how to split up these posts, so I’m going to just post more than one in a day!

So Thursday was Landon’s first Thanksgiving. It seems like not so long ago that I was pregnant, and picturing what that day would be like with an actual 10 month old. It seemed so surreal that I would actually be sharing the holiday with my child! Pregnancy is like that though, it just doesn’t seem real!!!

Here’s a pic taken last Thanksgiving break when Mr. Hubby and I went to New York. Yep Landon, you’ve been to New York City when mommy was 7 months preggo with you. Let’s just say it was a rough trip… but Landon loved music even then! He kicked and squirmed during the entire Lion King broadway show!

So here was the day that I had been picturing for the past year. Thanksgiving with my own little family. Landon woke up pretty cheerful. We spent the morning and afternoon playing, snacking on treats, and making desserts!

Here’s Landon playing hide n seek with his papa.

I made a John Davis pie that I had found on an amazing blog that I love called Wearing Gackey's Apron. I’ve found so many great recipes there. They turned out very pretty if I do say so myself!

I also made a Pumpkin Crunch cake that I found on Pinterest. I think it’s going to be a keeper! So easy and so yummy! Even Mr. Hubby, (who I should totally rename Mr. Picky) liked it!

Landon started to get a little cranky by the afternoon. He had several little melt-downs and just seemed kind of tired. So I tried to keep him entertained on the floor with some of his favorite toys. Don’t you just love his shirt? I couldn’t find a Thanksgiving shirt in his size, but I loved the colors of this plaid shirt. It screamed fall to me. Gotta have my baby dressed for the seasons!!!

This kid loves computers! And let me tell ya, if he sees one, he’s going to go after it!

Uh…oh… am I not supposed to be doing that?!

hi there

with my daddy

Now, the actual Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t quite what I had envisioned. The food was amazing, the desserts were delicious, but some extra extended family came at the last minute, so Landon, Mr. Hubby and I weren’t able to eat at the table. I was so busy with my food on my lap, that I completely for got to snap some pics of Landon! I’m kicking myself now, but that’s okay. We had fun snapping some pictures after our bellies were all full!

Daddy decided it was fun to put a cool whip tub on Landon’s head, and we all had a great time watching him try to pull it off!

What is this thing on my head?!?!
