The Girl's first Thanksgiving was a big family occasion in Texline, TX, not to mention a huge success! We won't even factor in the fact that just moments after snapping this photo of her in an adorable "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit (from the Joneses!), she was covered neck-to-toes in spit-up. Yikes!As you'd expect (especially after a change of clothes), she was the center of attention the entire weekend! (In fact, it almost seemed as though if you weren't there to see The rock star Girl, you might as well not be there! Happily, I had rock-star-by-association status, as S. is very powerful and generous.) Of course, she was a big hit with her Granny and Pa and with her great Aunt Kay. Dana and Ivy were smitten with her. As it turns out, Byron is a bit of baby monopolizer, and even Kolton wanted to hold her! Actually, everyone over toddler age held her (rock star, I'm telling you!). I think she really took to her uncles and Aunt H., and when Aunt A. met her, well, let's just say that there were tears (and not just mine!). The Girl was a big hit with her sweet cousin D., who was very helpful at diaper-changing time, when she would always help me by closing the bedroom door for "priacy."
We were so touched by everyone's love and affection for The Girl. It was a sweet reminder why we love our family so much!

A BABY MONOPOLIZER!!!!!!! Wow now I've been called just about everything. In my defense though, everytime I would just get comfortable someone would come along and want to hold her; making it seeeeeeemmm like I was holding her more than I really was. Now that I think about it, I hardly got to hold her at all!!!! Ya'll come see us so we can set this straight okay. thanks for the pictures.
