Okay, so here's the rundown of our Thanksgiving in Hastings. Abby had lots of fun and learned how to do new things and tried new foods too. She had a little taste of pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, squash, real sweet potatoes, stuffing, cookies, Krispie Kreme doughnut, and tortilla chips. And best of all she learned to use a straw and loves it. She is so into straws that we bought her a sippy cup with a straw and she drained the water lickety split. She sure loves doing big girl things.Abby also had lots of fun visiting her family and meeting some new family members. She isn't as friendly as we'd like, but she's not a total hermit either, so I guess we can't complain. She is very good at making eyes and smiling at people as long as Steve or I (mostly me) are holding her. And there were sure a lot of people to meet and meet again. She was a really good little girl all things considered.
But one thing she loved most for sure was getting home. She was the happiest, smiliest girl when she saw all her toys and her new room. It was really funny to watch her get so excited. Now the countdown is on until our trip down for Christmas. Just a little Christmas shopping to do and we will be all set.
