Gobble Gobble

What a fabulous Turkey Day(s)! Mom, Dad & I drove down to Cincinnati to celebrate Thanksgiving and I got to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa, Yia Yia, Theo George, Theo Bill and lots of other family. Despite avoiding every single nap while away, I was in great spirits the whole time! We got to do all kinds of fun stuff, like:

Eating my first Oreo cookie.

Playing silly games with Grandma.

Visiting with my Aunt Jessica.

Getting bundled up for the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Seeing Santa's reindeer.

Biting the head off of my very first gingerbread man.

oohing and aahing at all the beautiful lights.

Visiting with my cousin Lilly.

We did SO much more but didn't manage to capture it all in photos : ( What a great holiday!

Now & Then

Decidedly happier (and colder) then last year's leaf experience...

Hysterical

Tonight I crossed the line. That very fine line between finding humor in parenting and being cruel. I'll set the scene for you...

I got Sophia ready for bed-jammies, woobie, brushed the teeth, etc. and then realized I had forgotten the bottle she takes before bed. I left her to play in her room while I ran down to get the bottle. When I ran back up the stairs and turned the corner I was surprised to see a laundry basket walking towards me. Somehow Soph had turned her pop up laundry holder upside down over her head and was trapped inside. She was walking around aimlessly with clothes drapped all around her. As she walked toward the gate and saw me hysterically laughing she started to whimper. So I did as any self-respecting mother would do and ran for the camera.

Shame on me.

16 Months

What does a 16 month old do to celebrate her 16th month? Well duh.

She wears mailing envelopes on her head...

Plays dress-up with the dog...

Tries out some big lady shoes...

And reads the paper with daddy...

That's what she does : )

Snow

I know the title of this post is misleading but I didn't get a good picture this morning to show that the third photo in this series should be of a snow covered lawn as was the case this morning.

Dear Mother Nature,

No need to rush things.

Thanks,
The Karras Family

Congratulations Keith & Hollie!

Don't Take Candy from Strangers?

Funny, because I think that's exactly what we did. And I can attest to the fact that my mommy has already consumed quite a bit of said candy. Despite my really bad mood at the beginning of the evening, I ended up having a pretty good time and made it to quite a few houses with Luke and his cousins Josie & Jack!





We also took a day trip up to Frankenmuth with my Grandpa and Grandma on Saturday. To celebrate mom put in my very first piggies!




We had a yummy chicken dinner with accompaning life-sized chicken and went to an insanely large Christmas store that was, well, kinda scary.




All in all, a pretty fantastic weekend!
