THANKSGIVING

This year for Thanksgiving we drove down to Darren's family in South Carolina. Fortunately, we were able to turn the girls around in their carseats and use our DVD player. Audrey was mesmerized by it! The girls did great on the drive and we changed plans mid-drive and made it all in one day....of course we arrived at about 12:30 am!

It took the girls a little while to warm up - they currently are in an attached phase. But once they settle in, they are good to go. By the end of the trip, Brooke would even touch the giant golden retriever (Audrey was not so sure about it!).

They ate like little rock stars - they are huge fans of meat: turkey, ham, roast beef, BBQ pork, chicken. They ate everything that the adults did (though they, like their mom, skipped the collard and rutabagas!)

While there, they got to have another first birthday party-complete with cakes for each of them. They again really loved the cake!

Audrey has been really cute lately and has been hugging all her stuffed animals and dolls...which is funny since she is not our little cuddler. Brooke has also been really cute - but she has been dancing! (both of them really, but more Brooke) Anytime music comes on she starts to boogy down.

The played with their cousin Kayla quite a bit. Here is a video of Kayla pushing Audrey around in a doll stroller. This went on for quite a while and it was totally adorable... until Audrey fell out - who could have seen that coming?
