Elliott turned 2 Thanksgiving week. We celebrated the big 0-2 and the holiday with family.
Elliott's parents were more excited for this birthday than any other birthday. Ever. Two was more exciting than one because Elliott understood (more or less) what was going on. He could tell us he was going to be 2 and could even hold up 2 fingers. Plus, he knew how birthday candles and presents worked.
Someone woke up to a new play set in the backyard. He liked the baby swing best even though we tried to convince him 2 year olds were big boys.
Later in the morning he got to pick out a new Elliot the Elephant book with Daddy and Uncle Bugs.
Someone decided to give his mom a break from cooking before she had to slave away in the kitchen all of thanksgiving day and chose Red Robin for his birthday dinner. He's so kind!
It was such a fun day. I think I like Elliott's birthday better than my own...well, a close second!
The next day was Thanksgiving and we had quite the dinner. Zack smoked his fifth turkey of the month (yes, we ate many Thanksgiving meals with friends and work). It has been fun hosting Thanksgiving at our house the last couple years. We thought about seeing Christmas lights at the track, sharing some dessert with some friends, and even Black Friday shopping after dinner but by the time we finished we were so full and tired we all decided bed was more enticing!
We had help putting up our Christmas decorations before everyone left town. Zack got Elliott a train for underneath our tree this year. I think he got it more for himself...but that's okay both boys enjoyed it!
At the end of the weekend we celebrated a family rivalry football game. Seahawks vs. Steelers aka Pittman boys vs. Simmonds/Pittman girls. It was fun to watch together even if the wrong team won.
