Thanksgiving

Hi Maevster-

This year we headed to M and Pop's house for Thanksgiving. You spent the morning with Daddy at the annual neighborhood flag football game. Daddy didn't get to play due to his still re-habbing ALC surgery, but he did take some cute pics!


 
You slept through most of the Thanksgiving preparation and even dinner. And when you did wake up, you weren't hungry. Oh well...but we did take the Taylor Christmas photo. Can you see Uncle Jeff? I can't.

The next day we visited the Peabody ducks, saw the "M" bridge and rode the trolley!



 
And before we left, we started to get into the Christmas spirit by decorating a gingerbread man with M and Pop!


Love you , Maev.

Peabody Ducks

Hi Maev-

During our Thanksgiving trip to Memphis, along with Pop and M, we headed to the Memphis Peabody Hotel to see the world famous ducks.

You about about lost it when we told you that we were going to see ducks that not only lived in a hotel, but also rode on an elevator. Every time I mentioned it, you would reply "Nooooooo! Ducks don't live in a hotel!" or "Nooooooo. Ducks don't go in an elevator! That's silly!"
Here's you looking at the ducks in their "palace home". You kept yelling at them asking, "Duckie!- what are you doing in there?!" So cute...love you Maev.

Chocolate Milk

After you finished your dinner last Sunday, we let you eat your last piece of Halloween candy, a mini-Snickers bar. Needless to say, you loved it...and for some reason wanted to show Aunt Lesley your chocolatey-mouth.

Here you go Aunt Les-

Pull Down Your Underwear

On the way home from church last Sunday, you sang several songs- "Trick or Treat", "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe", and "Rain, rain, go away". For some reason, they all ended with- 

 "If you dont, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear."

You thought it was hilarious. 

Football Timeout

One other funny story from the weekend- Daddy had football on most of the day on Saturday.

At one point the announcer said, "Georgia takes a timeout." 

You heard it and responded, "Georgia's in time out! That's funny!" (followed by giggles)

Mommy and Daddy laughed as well. Imaging the Georgia football team in a time out is even funnier.

We don't typically have an issue using the words "timeout" in a confusing way, but Aunt Lesley sometimes does. A couple times, she's called "Timeout!" just to stop you from doing something or to take a break. You quickly respond, "No....no timeout!" Sorry Maev...I know the english language can be confusing. Wait, until you take a foreign language in high school. 

Love you,

Mama

Weekend Roundup with Aunt Lesley

Maevy,

I just got back home from a fun-filled weekend in Nashville visiting with you, Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma. We went to the park, celebrated Halloween two nights in a row, had a picnic, got our nails painted and played with puzzles, books, and felt. Here are some of my favorite Maevy stories from our time together:

On Sunday morning when you woke up and found me at your house, you asked “where is your car?” I responded by saying I didn’t drive but took an airplane. A couple hours later when we went outside to go buy bagels, you looked around and asked “Where is your airplane?” Silly girl, I don’t have my own airplane!

On Monday during our picnic in the backyard, Grandma quizzed you and asked you why the leaves were falling. You being so smart, replied “because the wind blows them down.” You are one smart cookie!

Later that day, we visited the dog park with Grandma and Grandpa. After witnessing a dog taking a “poopy,” Grandpa said to you “After the dogs go poop, they have to pick it up with their hands and throw it away in the trash.” Not realizing, Grandpa was talking about the owner, you very quickly responded “Dogs don’t have hands!” Yep, you’re right Maevy, dogs do not have hands. Silly Grandpa!

I love you Maevy and can’t wait to see you in December!
