Happy Turkey Day!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and a lot to be thankful for. Earlier in the week, Brenna had tubes put in her ears to help drain fluid that had chronically gathered in her ear - causing lots of ear and sinus infections. The procedure was a quick one - only about 10 minutes. When we went back to get her from recovery we were shocked (so used to a groggy, bloody recovery from our previous experiences with surgeries) that she was doing so well - you couldn't even tell anything had been done - no grogginess or anything! We proceeded about our day and Brenna was wonderful. It wasn't until the next day that she really showed signs of anything different, so mommy stayed home that day too so little Brenna could get some extra TLC. Thursday brought the turkey and lots of family. Grandpa Dave, Grandma Diane, Aunt Jamie, Uncle Josh, Aunt Debbie and cousin Rick came to eat with us and we had a great meal (thanks mostly to Daddy). Brenna almost slept through it but mommy woke her up so she could enjoy some green beans and mashed potatoes (that was about all she'd eat) - oh and whipped cream! Brenna also got to enjoy some fun playtime with family - including throwing the leaves around the backyard. This weekend, Brenna helped clean up the garage and put out Christmas decorations - she definitely likes the pretty tree with all the lights =)
