Thanksgiving

We did a lot of traveling for Thanksgiving, as usual. We went to Cleveland first for a few days. Elizabeth and I then went to Cincinnati by ourselves. Christian was trying to get some work done on his big presentation. It turns out it got rescheduled for January. Oh well, it was a nice visit anyway and we got some good pictures!

This is Elizabeth with Mammaw and Santa. We went to Lunch with Santa at my old high school, Mt Notre Dame. My sister Kathy and her kids went too. You can probably tell from this picture that Elizabeth didn't really like Santa! 

Elizabeth talking to a cow (one of the Nativity animals) at Lunch with Santa. Maybe the cow could understand her babbling. I know we don't understand much of it yet. 

Elizabeth loves to play peek-a-boo. She figured out a new way to play at Mammaw's house by ducking back and forth in the doorway.

And you gotta love the Fred Mertz pants! 

Elizabeth and Aunt Donna in Cincinnati. Donna came all the way from Alabama for Thanksgiving. It was in the 60's so we all thought the weather was beautiful. Donna thought it was cold. I think the South has spoiled her. 

A very cute kid! 

This is the step in Grandma and Grandpa's house that goes from the living room to the kitchen. It's actually one of Elizabeth's favorite "toys." Usually on of us is sitting on the step because she likes to climb up and down and up and down and up and down......... 

Elizabeth and Grandpa are playing with her new toys. She loves her Little People. 

Elizabeth enjoying a very tiny sundae at The Cheesecake Factory in Cleveland. I had the Godiva cheesecake and amazingly couldn't finish it. I always finish dessert, especially if it's chocolate but it was just too much for me. I guess I finally met my match!
