Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

 

We traveled to Minneapolis to spend Thanksgiving at Steve and Chelsey's place.  We hadn't been there since their wedding last September so our visit was long overdue.  We stopped and spent the night in Ankey with Abby and Drew on our way up and back, which was a great way to break up the trip since Elliott certianly won't be remembered as the best car traveler.

Elliott even sat at the table with us...only thing on the menu he could have were sweet potatoes

Trying to get a post-turkey nap in...I think only one had that in mind

Elliott is a super happy baby and is always smiling!  The smiles come so freely and are so genuine.  He greets anyone that walks into the room with a smile that has the ability to brighten any day.  Monique is very surprised at his ability to concentrate at such a young age.  He looks at toys for so long it's almost as if he is trying to figure out how they are made. I think he has his dad’s engineering mind.  He is extremely busy.  His arms and legs are always moving.  Changing his diaper and dressing him is becoming quite the hassle.  You can see from the pictures below that he doesn't sit still.
