It's been a busy month. We went to the turkey festival last weekend, this weekend is the Annual Orient Way neighborhood Thanksgiving, then Sunday we are going to a Kaz Kids meetup and also there is an Adoption Celebration at church. Oh, and in between those things, Saturday morning Hannah will be a "grand marshal" in Hamilton's annual Santa Claus parade (perks of having a godfather who also happens to be the mayor). Then Thursday is the actual turkey day, which in our family entails eating all day and watching National Lampoons Xmas Vacation. Then its family game night and some shopping on Black Friday! Whew, I am tired and the fun hasn't even started yet! As you can see from the pictures above, Hannah did not enjoy meeting the big man in red. Not enjoyed may be an understatement. She howeled like she was on fire the entire time we were there. She did recover enough to enjoy a nice Christmas cookie and look at the fish (we were at Bass Pro). Also, some random tidbits from this month...
***I recently asked Hannie what she wanted for Christmas this year. She stared at me for a minute and then dug through my purse and handed me my car keys. Apparently, she would like her own car. This child is ALL THINGS FABULOUS!!***
***Her new favorite books are called Everyone Poops, The Gas We Pass, and Walter the Farting Dog. Is this normal?! I am not so sure.***
***The KAZmaniac took her first of I am sure many trips to the ER this month. I was not home, Mom was watching her and she set her on the kitchen counter to wipe her face. Hannie spied the cookie jar, lunged for it, and took a nose dive onto the hard wood kitchen floor. She's fine, except for a black and blue knot on her forehead. Good thing the social worker's post placement visit was LAST month, LOL.***
Celebrating Adoption is a photographers' organization dedicated to providing beautiful portraits celebrating a family's new adoption. Recently, one of the photographers came to the house and snapped a few shots of Hannie. Here is a sneak peek of the photos.

Pictures are FABULOUS! Sounds like you are busy like crazy. Amazing woman you are! :) Lexi/karen
Okay...not only can you keep pig tails in but you can change her multiple times in the same photo session!? We have a Sant appt soon and I am scared to death...no changes either!
Your Hannie is so loved...it is very obvious!
Wonderful photos!!! I finally uploaded some last night. I'm making progress. hah. I love to see the word "again." I hope you join the Club of Two. Best, Susan
I love her! She is such a doll! Sorry to hear about the ER trip- yikes, but glad to hear she's ok. Sounds like you guys are having a fun and busy season!
Oh, I could just eat her up!! There ARE no bad photos of your beautiful little girl!!! And I'm thankful the bump to the noggin wasn't serious and it probably scared Grandma more than Hannie!!! Or at least Grandma will remember it long after sweet Miss H. has forgotten!!
Loved the sneak peek into your week ahead and your family's Turkey Day traditions!! We are big fans of the Lampoons Christmas Vacation too....I can just picture Cousin Eddie with the white v-neck sweater and dark green dickie on underneath!! Bwwwww hahhhhhhha!!!!! Classic!!
O.K. just another lovely post and oh my gosh....the photos are incredible and I am gushing over the Turkey dress!!!
Enjoy each moment and can't wait to hear what the special project is all about!!!!!!!!!
HA! What a smart girl you have there, asking for a car for Christmas! Make me laugh!
Good thing the photographer came before she hit her head too LOL! Hope she's ok! That's scary.
Enjoy your turkey day and hope all goes as planned!
BTW - Zachary screamed that same way last year when we met Santa. Perhaps it's a milestone, just as walking and talking are!
Could she be any cuter? Love that toothy smile of hers and the adorable clothes. Are little girls the best for dressing or what? And what a tease Hannah's mommy is. What secret project? Come on give....
