Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was our first Thanksgiving as a complete family! It was a good day.  Olivia woke up a little after 7:00 and Brendon let me sleep until about 8:00.  We had pumpkin pancakes for breakfast and Olivia did not want to eat her oatmeal and peaches! Thankfully I snuck them in with her yogurt for lunch! Lately she doesn't want her oatmeal and whatever fruit or veggie...weird... sometimes she woofs it down other times it is a struggle! Anywho after her morning nap and us browsing through the ads we Skyped with lots of people. We even took Olivia outside and tested out her swing today.  She loved it! Then while she took her afternoon nap, Brendon and I ate our turkey dinner.  We knew that we would not be able to coordinate us eating and Olivia eating at the same time.  We played some more, Skyped some more and then Olivia tried some Thanksgiving food.  I saved some plain sweet potatoes for her last night.  So she had sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with a little gravy, and some turkey.  She did great! There was no fuss at all.  She seemed to enjoy the new food. So I guess if mashed potatoes or turkey are on the menu she will eat that with us! Overall it was a great day.  We feel so blessed and thankful for all that we have.
