little helper

We put up our Christmas decorations this weekend and hooooly cow was Bea ridiculous. With every box we opened, she was practically bubbling over. Tons of WOWs and WOAHs and tippy-toed excitement clenches. I thought she was going to burst! Then all she wanted to do was help. Moving the Christmas tree stand (which is sort of heavy), opening and closing the tree box (also not that easy) and basically moving or lifting anything she could. My face hurts from the laughing and cuteness.

new face for the holidays?

On our way to Indy for turkey day. Bea requested a sheen of Aquaphor on her cheeks to keep her supple for the family.

Bea loved all of the food. Her favorites were stuffing, mashed potatoes and yams.

There was tons of playtime for Bea and I think she got a little too excited. We had to change into some sweats and an undershirt for post throw-up comfort. I guess it could have been Bea's sneaky way to get into some clothes with a little give.

The Golichowski's were there and bea hadn't seen them since last year. I swear she was either playing with Hannah, being carried by Uncle Tim, checking out Luke or getting some back rubs from Aunt Sandy. There is definitely a bond there.

Speaking of bonds, Bea and Grandpa Ed got in quite a few cuddles. What a great Thanksgiving we all had. We even got sent home with leftovers!
