1st Thanksgiving Day

This morning we were awoken by gentle coos of a precious boice through the baby monitor. Camden was awake just talking and cooing away. It was like he was able to sense that it was a big day. Today marks Camden's first Thanksgiving Day and our first Thanksgiving as parents. We are so very THANKFUL for Camden and all the joy he has brought to our lives. What a beautiful day to celebrate our THANKFULNESS!

I just finished up in the kitchen working on a pumpkin pie and broccoli casserole. I tried to get finished with my cooking and cleanup before the start of the Thanksgiving Day parade; however, I didn't quite make it. Camden and Austin were watching the parade and have dosed off for a morning naP. I am glad Camden is resting as today will be a long one for him, and I'm certain his afternoon nap (which is his longest nap of the day) will be omitted.

Here are some photos of Camden on his first Thanksgiving. And, yes, I do have my Christmas tree up. We put up our tree on Tuesday evening so now we can enjoy tomorrow as a family and get some rest before another big Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday.
"Happy Thanksgiving Mommy and Daddy!"

"I'm going to get into these ornaments Mommy, you better watch out!"
"See, I told you so!"
