It should go without saying this is a pretty picture heavy post…
Marion and I flew to Mississippi a few days before Thanksgiving so we could be with my niece at her third birthday party!
And yes, Marion already knows who Elmo is.
Marion enjoys some of the forbidden plastic toys we don’t let her have 
Isabella is the grumpiest Care Bear
More forbidden plastic fun
Sunday afternoon, Belle came over for a playdate at Marme’s house
Mmmmmm, popcorn, animal crackers and milk!
And here, Belle is teaching Marion the worst trick ever
How to close her straw cup lid
But not to open it!
We had some gorgeous Mississippi fall weather, so we spent a lot of time outside
She really was happy about it!
Come along little doggy
Marme, Lauren and Marion enjoy some post-Thanksgiving meal reading.
Clark The Toothless Shark is a family favorite
Do you know how hard it is to get four children under four to sit for a picture?
Andrew knows this isn’t going to be any fun!
Just a few outtakes…
Poor Mar gets left out 
She’s done with this!
This can lead to no good
Marion knows what’s coming
We now have a new holiday tradition of Marion getting choked down by Belle. Fun for all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
