So this week is Kayla's birthday week and the week I'm starting blogging more regularly. I'm going to have to try to plan ahead and pull my camera out more often and I'm excited about it! For now here's a briefly worded but heavily photographed Thanksgiving recap.
As last year, we went to my parents house for Thanksgiving where my mom and dad open the doors and Megan does all the cooking. :) My parents condo gets great light for the most part, so these photos turned out overall better than the day before, but still need some work. I was trying to get a bunch of photos of the kids and maybe some candids as well. Not my best work but I think I got some keepers.
After lots of playing and laughing, we ate in the mid afternoon (started before the boys woke up from naps.) Kayla didn't take a nap...shocker. The food was delicious as usual and we had to bride Kayla to eat her turkey with a giant frosted turkey cookie my grandparents had brought for her. Each bite she took, the turkey got closer to her. I'm not going to lie, I bride the kid like crazy because it works. I like to think of it as a reward more than a bribe. She responds well to positive reinforcement versus negative consequences.
