The Elephant and the Turkey!

Today we had another fun play group! It was a Thanksgiving theme (very fitting). We, the moms, all ate soup, breads, and salads and had a fabulous time! The host even provided a fun activity for the kids to do - make a turkey hat! Well, I definitely could not pass up this opportunity! I made a little hat for Reed and he loved it! He kept it on for over an hour! So, of course, I had to take some pictures of the cutest turkey ever! His feathers are kind of floppy, but it is just so cute!

Included in the pictures is one of when my brother, Michael, came into town (well, Maryland). We all went to dinner and it was great to see him! We wish we could see him more often :)

I am the cutest turkey ever!

Where is Reed hiding?

Out to dinner with Michael and my parents


Reed's favorite thing is his little toy elephant. Every time he sees it he giggles and crawls super fast to go and get it! He is filled with so much joy when he plays with his elephant. It also helps him when he is in new situations. Reed gets a little shell-shocked when he is in a new group of people and everything is really loud (hmmm....wonder where he gets that from?! :) ....Tyson). So, the other day, I got a video of him finding his elephant. It's a good one. There was a point when I thought Tyson was going to win over the elephant, but no such luck. Reed turns around and finds the elephant more appealing :) Sorry, Tys! Vance, watch this one a lot because cousin Reed is definitely going to bring his elephant at Christmas! You guys can play with it together! P.S. I don't know where he got his high scream from either. But, it shows his pure joy in his elephant!
