Thanksgiving 2012

We had a Thanksgiving dinner with Matthew's family on Thursday then again on Friday with my family. I love turkey, so having it twice in a row was fantastic. This year I decided to get my bake on early. I made pumpkin rolls, a pumpkin-pecan cheesecake, and mini pecan pies. First time making all, they came out really good. We tasted the pumpkin-pecan cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant a few years ago and Matthew fell in love, we were going to buy one for our Thanksgiving dinner until I found out it was $50, I said no way, I finding that recipe and making it myself. I did for less than $10. Matthew was happy and very impressed, definitely making it again next year.

The kids made the cutest little turkey craft out of a pinecone.

Uzziah's latest words and phrases

Uzziah is quite the talker, he's been saying some pretty funny stuff lately. He cracks me up.

3.5 yrs

Uzziah was pretending to be a dinosaur the other day, a T-Rex to be exact, and asked:

"Hey mom what are you doing?"

I replied, "oh I'm just sitting; what are you doing?" I asked him, and he goes

"oh, I'm just T-Rexing"

3.5 yrs

While taking a walk Uzziah ran over a snail with his bike and looked at me all concerned, then said, with some ease flowing into his face,

"that's ok, he's with Jesus now"

I couldn't help but laugh

Uzziah always gives me a hard time about putting his clothes on. This particular time I was calling him to put his pj's on, mind you HE was the one asking me to put them on. Well every time he asked to put them on I'd say ok come here and I'll do it, then he would run away or simply not come to me. I hate chasing him around and finally a few minutes later he goes:

"Mom, you forgot to put my pj's on"

I say: no, I didn't forget but every time I try you don't let me. I hope that this time you let me"

And he says: "well I hope so too"

My sister and I get together once every two weeks to take the kids to the library and then go out to lunch. Well Uzziah really wanted his cousins to come over after the library and tells auntie:

"Hey auntie, you wanna come to our house, it's ok we have food"

I guess he wanted to ensure her that we wouldn't miss lunch if they came over. So cute.

I was eating a sandwich made with whole grains, so the bread was brown, while he was eating a sandwich made with white bread and Ziah says:

Uzziah has been potty training and is doing so good with it. He's had a bit of a problem going #2 however. A friend suggested getting him a few of his favorite toys (monster trucks) and setting them right in the bathroom, everytime he goes #2, he gets a toy. Anyway grandma was in the restroom and when she was all done Ziah says with so much excitement in his voice: "Grandma, good job you get a monster truck!!!"
