Photos from Turkey Day and the week after

Getting a kiss from her beloved cousin Colin

Um, Mommy, Daddy, Seriously I am waaaay too sick for this photo shoot.

Well, not so sick that I can't crack a smile and do some dancing

The finale at the Macy's lightshow

Wow! Grandpa lets me play with his camera - COOL!

Sophie's letter to Santa

I'm trying to enjoy this, Mommy

A good memory for all despite more impending sickness

Sophie STILL has a bit of a cold even though it's now 8 days from when it started. She can't seem to get rid of the runny nose and a slightly wheezy cough however she is in MUUUUCH better spirits. Jim got the cold bad and I've got a mild case of it so I think we all just keep getting a little better and then a little worse passing it around and around.

I think that maybe while Sophie was dealing with this latest "ick" she also cut her canines because I noticed at least three are in now (possibly all four). She is sleeping better (and later) and just overall seems a much happier little Peanut. We had a nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa despite Sophie's cold and even dragged the poor kid to the Macy's holiday light show on Sunday (probably NOT the greatest idea in retrospect but it's the holidays. You can't live in a bubble, right?) Even though Sophie seemed much improved on Sunday, it apparently was just the calm before the rest of the storm because Monday she had more coughing and a croupy cough and sneezing. She really wasn't too thrilled at the light show (it was crowded, the organ was loud and she seemed to really not like being inside where the live organ was booming away). Once back outside she really enjoyed the window displays and the lights though so all was not lost.

We said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa yesterday morning after a customary pre-trip breakfast at IHOP and they made it safely home last night in good time.

We sure enjoyed our visit with all three of you. Hope your colds go away soon.
