Caroline's First Thanksgiving

Another first for C has came and went. Thanksgiving!!! Chris was on vacation the week of a Thanksgiving so he and Caroline got to spend some much needed daddy/daughter time together while mommy worked on Monday and Tuesday. We had planned and prepared from the food to the special outift and hairbow Caroline would wear. However, due to some lovely teething, Thanksgiving turned out to be a little difficult. I had planned on waking Caroline up at 8 on Thursday morning to watch the Macy's Parade (my favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving) but due to a low grade temp, snotty nose, and horrible cough, Chris and I spent the morning tag-teaming to get ourselves and C ready while she fussed pretty much the whole time.  She finally fell asleep as we traveled to our first stop of the day, Aunt Kat's. Those who know Caroline, knows she is very sociable and will let even a stranger hold her, except today. Mommy was all she wanted. We left a little early hoping another nap would help. Thankfully we were going home because due to a puking incident, Caroline's outfit had to be put in the washing machine and dryer. A short nap with daddy then we were off to Nanny's where she slept through dinner and dessert. I have definitely come to conclusion that no matter how much I try to plan everything, even the smallest things can change everything. It definitely was not the ideal Thanksgiving, but Caroline looked cute, we seen lots of family, ate a lot of food, and made it through the day. We even took Caroline to Wal-Mart for some Black Friday shopping that evening. Time to prepare for the next big "first" .... CHRISTMAS!!!!
