Today is your very first Thanksgiving! I have been looking forward to the Holidays as a mommy for a very long time!
We went down to Wayne to your Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a houseful of our friends and family. Aside from the three of us, there was your Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Dan and Aunt Lindy, your Great Grandma and Great Grandpa McGee from Dallas, your Uncle Robin, Ryan Goodrich and his parents, and your "Uncle" Jim (Mijjy) Varner. We had such a wonderful time. We were laughing, celebrating, eating, eating, and more eating, watching football, talking and playing with YOU all day!
I think what we were looking forward to most was feeding you your Thanksgiving dinner. I have been planning what to make you since you first started eating foods. I made you sweet potatoes with cinnamon, butternut squash, and mixed berries. I sat you between me and your Grandpa. He has been excited about feeding you a little off his plate. You were the perfect age for Thanksgiving in the fact that you can start eating mashed "big people" food! So dad (your Grandpa) fed you some stuffing, some potatoes, and a little greenbean casserole.
Today was so wonderful. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family, a loving place to call home, and most of all, a beautiful, healthy baby boy. I love you, Bentley!
Love,
Mommy
