Happy Thanksgiving!

Maren:
We celebrated Thanksgiving last week and my Pica and Grammie made their annual trek north.  We sure had a great weekend with them with lots of fun.  Thanksgiving day itself was wonderful of course... mommy made a really yummy dinner in the evening but we had lots of good appetizers during the day.  I thought it was pretty fun that I got to eat crackers, cheese, pickles, and veggies for lunch!  I could do that every day!  Uncle Frankie joined us for dinner and we had a really nice evening.  Mommy got me my very own bottle of apple cider... I felt like a princess drinking all of the bubbles!  On Thanksgiving day we went for a nice walk up the road before dinner.  It had been raining a lot and I found a really big puddle that I wanted to splash in.  Unfortunately, the mud was really deep, my boots got stuck and I fell over!  Brrrr! The water was cold! 
One day while they were here we went for a nice walk on one of the logging roads just up the hill from our property.  It has been really cold here (down to the low 20's at night) with some snow in the higher elevations.  There was quite a bit of snow where we went walking, at least in sections, with lots of frozen puddles for me to slip and slide on.  It was so beautiful and so much fun!  I also really loved cracking the ice on the puddles... it sounded like breaking glass!
The morning after Thanksgiving our resident Elf on a Shelf, Sparkle, returned for the season!  I was soooooo excited! The morning she came was so beautiful outside and she made everything around us sparkle too!  I went outside to explore and mommy looked out the window and found me licking the fence posts!  Luckily I didn't get splinters in my tongue!

My first Thanksgiving was a hit.  Having Pica and Grammie around was really fun and I really liked chasing all of their doggies.  Pica played with me a lot... I especially liked it when he would toss me up in the air!  When he was done and would sit me down I would reach my arms back up as if to say "Do it again!"  Mommy planned dinner so that it would be right after my second nap and I joined everyone for the feast.  I really liked turkey and especially enjoyed chewing on one of the leg bones! 
I joined mommy, daddy, sissy, and Pica for the hike too even though it was super cold outside.  Mommy snuggled me into a snow suit. put me in the front pack, then zipped me up inside her coat.  I was snug as a bug in a rug!  We stopped in a nice sunny spot for a little rest and I got to get out and crawl around.
