Thanksgiving Weekend Re-Cap

The only thing Madeline got for her Thanksgiving feast last year was breast milk because she was still basically a loaf of bread  with limbs at that point.

This year, we were excited to watch Madeline taste her first Thanksgiving meal.  I had visions of gravy spread all over her face, turkey legs being gnawed upon, and pie being squished between tiny fingers.  We dragged her high chair to my parents house in preparation for the delicious mess.

Instead, Madeline refused to eat one bite.  Actually, that's not true.  She ate corn.  Lots and lots of corn.  Everything else?  She refused to even taste it.

When we slapped some apple pie on her tray for dessert, she cried as if we were trying to poison her.  She loves apples, so I figured apple pie wouldn't be too big of a leap.  Once again, she refused to even try it.  Instead she ate Cheerios for dessert.

Madeline's first Thanksgiving feast was a bit of a bust.  So sad, more pie for me!

The rest of the long weekend was spent napping, eating food and more food, watching A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, watching Elf, worshiping the Baby Jesus, eating food, attempting art projects, doing some online Christmas shopping, and watching football.

All in all, a great Thanksgiving weekend.

You missed out, Maddie Bear.  Look at that turkey!  Look at that Bob!
