We watched some of the parade on TV in our pajamas, and then we got ready to go to your great-grandmother&#8217;s house for a big feast.  Everybody was there, and so excited to see you.  Your cousins Benjamin and D.J. were there &#8211; they&#8217;re only a few months older than you, but they&#8217;re so big and active already.  You, on the other hand, slept almost the whole time, which amazed everyone.  (It worries me, because I&#8217;m not sure you&#8217;re going to sleep at all tonight!)<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/carolyn\/20041125_first_thanksgiving.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>You didn&#8217;t wear your adorable &#8220;My First Thanksgiving&#8221; outfit for very long &#8211; we had a slight wardrobe malfunction requiring a whole new change of clothes.  Thank goodness for large, well-stocked diaper bags!  You also insisted on sitting at the table with us for dinner &#8211; the only time you were wide awake was while I tried to eat.  That&#8217;s OK, though, this is probably the first Thanksgiving that I haven&#8217;t eaten too much&#8230;because I hardly had time for firsts, let alone seconds!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to all the rest of your first holidays so much.  Except from now on I&#8217;ll remember to have a backup holiday-themed outfit&#8230;just in case!<\/p>\n<p>Love, Mommy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Carolyn, Today was your first Thanksgiving.
