When the Lions season schedule came out last spring/summer, Russ was very excited to find out that his "boyfriend," Tom Brady, was going to be in town to play the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. We just had to get tickets for the game. Since it was our first Thanksgiving with Calleigh, I insisted that she come, too, even though I was a bit worried about trying to get her to sit for 3 hours at a football game. She had so much fun though! She was making friends with everyone around us. She was smiling and laughing at everyone. She was playing peek-a-boo with the guy behind us and giving high fives to the guys beside and in front of us. I think some of the Lions fans around us found her more entertaining than what was going on on the field. :)

After the game, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Webster's for Thanksgiving dinner.
Calleigh and Gramps like to watch kids sing-a-longs on You Tube. Calleigh is a big fan of "The Wheels on the Bus."
The day after Thanksgiving, Russ headed to KC for work and Calleigh and I went to visit Oma and Opa. We did our annual Christmas cookie baking. Calleigh kept herself entertained by pulling nearly every piece of Gladware that my mom has out of the cabinet.
We helped them find the perfect Christmas tree.
And we got Calleigh's ears pierced! She looks like such a big girl sitting there waiting to have them pierced. Poor thing didn't know what was coming.
First one in with no problem! She cried for a minute and then was back to being a happy girl. The second one didn't go over as well. She cried and sniffled about that one for a while afterward. She looks so pretty though!
I just love downtown St. Joseph. They have a bunch of great little shops and restaurants. This winter they also have hand painted snowmen all over. We had to stop and get a pic by this Elvis one just for Russ.
