A Scarecrow and a First Thanksgiving

Liza turnid 7 months old on November 13th. She has two teeth, can blow kisses and makes the cutest Yoda Face. I don't know where she got this squinched up face...but she does it all the time, and it's adorable. She is starting to crawl and she can pull herself up to standing, if she has the patience to fall down a few times before getting her footing just right.
It is amazing to watch her grow and change every day.
For Liza's first Halloween Allen found the cutest scarecrow costume. We gor her all dressed up for a Church halloween festival and everyone thought she was teh cutest of all the babies. We agree.
She loved to watch the big kids jump and play but she HATED the baby sized ball bin.

Other than that little "oops" Liza had a great time being a cute little scarecrow. She didn't get much candy though...oh well, maybe next year.
Thanksgiving was another fun filled day. We started out at Grandpa and Granny Barb's house for lunch, then to Oma's for dinner. It is so fun to see Liza and Tripp grow up side by side. They are so different and they have so much fun together...I am looking forward to see how their friendship develops.
On December 1s Allen ran in teh Memphis marathon to support St. Jude Children's Hospital. We had a great trip and even got to visit Graceland. Liza, we quickly learned, LOVES Elvis! she was so cute. We were touring the mansion and as we walked into a room that was playing a video of a concert, Liza began to dance, wiggle, giggle and clap. Unfortunately video equipment was not allowed or I would have a great videp clip for you to see. So this picture will have to do.
