Thanksgiving, Touchdowns and Trees

Hi everyone!

Well, it's been awhile since my last post--so sorry. As you can agree, life is full--especially during this so-called holiday season.

You'll be pleased (I hope) to learn that I survived my first Thanksgiving! I had it all--turkey, stuffing, potatoes and beans. It was very yummy. I'm already counting the days until the next Thanksgiving. We went to our friends, the Reed's, since daddy had to work the next day. Then we did head to Ohio for Che Che and Uncle Mike's baby shower over the weekend. It was a very full weekend to say the least. It's a good thing that I don't mind traveling.


Thanksgiving with the Wandels and Reeds! Good food and good friends!

During my Thanksgiving dinner! After dinner!

I hope it's okay, but I'm going to brag about my latest trick! I can do touchdown! Check out the video below to see what I mean. I can also clap my hands. So at church when we are standing and singing choruses, these skills come in very handy. Little do the people around me know that when I raise my hands at church, it's because daddy is whispering "touchdown" in my ears.

With Thanksgiving behind us, we Hoffman's are in full Christmas mode. Last weekend we cut down our tree. How surprised was I when daddy actually brought the tree inside. Then mommy and daddy started putting lights on it and hanging pretty shiny things on the branches. I decided to help, so I pulled on the lights and tried to pull off the shiny things--but they were too high for me to reach. Mommy didn't seem to appreciate my help. Well the tree is up and looks pretty--except for the bottom two feet, which is a bit bare. We've been celebrating Advent nearly every day. I'm looking forward to Christmas!

There is one other big event coming up before Christmas--my 1st birthday. It's hard to believe! Mommy and Daddy say I've changed a lot over the last year. I know I couldn't do touchdown a year ago--that's for sure!!

Well, I'll write more after my birthday.

Love to all!
