This year we went to Savannah for Thanksgiving. We got up early the day before and rode 2 airplanes to get there. I was big enough to have my own seat this time, and I did great! I loved sitting by the window and looking out at the clouds.

When we got there, GiGi and Aunt Brennan picked us up at the airport, and we went to Matey and GG Daddy's house first for a quick visit. I got to tell them our news, that I'm going to have a baby brother! First I told them it was a baby sister (even though Mommy and I had just practiced saying baby brother). I thought it would be funny to confuse everyone! After our quick visit, we got back in the car and drove to the beach, where we stayed for the whole week. My cousin Ryleigh was there with her mom, Alisabeth, too. She's 2, just like me! We had fun playing doctor, coloring, and doing stickers together!

The next day was Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. We watched a Thanksgiving parade on TV at the beach house and then got dressed and went to Aunt Patty and Uncle Ron's house for Thanksgiving lunch. There were so many people there! The food was really yummy. My favorite thing was the butter beans. I had so much fun running around with Sean and my little cousin, Will! It was pretty nice, too, so we got to take some family pictures outside.

On Friday, we mostly stayed at the beach house and played. Sean and I had so much fun playing together this whole trip. I loved sharing all of his "friends" (stuffed animals and superheroes), building towers with his blocks and then knocking them down, playing 5 silly monkeys jumping on the bed, going to the park to play, and reading stories together!

On Saturday, we went to the Hilton Hotel on Riverstreet downtown to see some really cool gingerbread houses they have on display. There were all kinds of different houses to see! My favorite was a gingerbread barn with little animals. There were beautiful Christmas trees and decorations, too, and we got to go outside and watch the boats drive on the river.

On Sunday, it was really really nice outside. Daddy and Daideo went golfing, so Mommy, GiGi, Sean, and I decided to go down to the beach to play. We had a blast digging in the sand, making castles and smashing them, and drawing letters and words with sticks. GiGi helped me write my name in the sand. I can't wait until summer when we get to go back and play at the beach some more!

Later we went to Matey and GG Daddy's house for dinner. When we got there, Sean and I helped decorate our own gingerbread house together! It wasn't quite as good as the ones we saw at the Hilton, but it was pretty fun. My favorite part was putting the marshmallow trees in the yard (and eating the extra candy!) Mommy and Daddy and I also got to open our Christmas presents from Matey and GG Daddy since we won't see them at Christmas this year. My favorite thing I got was a penguin that came with a soft red blanket. I named him Roger.
I was so proud of our little house!

Monday was our last day, so we wanted to do something really fun. Sean got to stay home from school to play with me, so we went to Monkey Joe's. It's this really awesome place where they have lots of blow-up bounce houses with slides, ladders, and all kinds of cool stuff. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but after watching Sean a little bit, I got the hang of it! I had a blast climbing and jumping!
Bouncing is so much fun!
After Monkey Joe's, we worked up an appetite, so we went out for pizza. Sean and I shared a kids' cheese pizza, and I ate 4 pieces! Then we headed back to the beach until Tuesday morning when it was time to pack up and fly home. It was my favorite trip to Savannah yet, and I can't wait to go back and play with Sean and see GiGi and Daideo and everyone again!
