Thanksgiving

I really am truly blessed!! Life is such a crazy whirlwind sometimes but in the end I love being home with my baby and my wonderful husband. I can't believe that the last post of mine was Halloween. So much has happened since then!! Liam had his four month appointment and got his next set of shots. The nurses were so sweet even if they were poking my baby with needles. And Liam was so adorable, he cried til I picked him up and then he was all smiles all over again. I really do have a wonderful baby!!
Liam is mobile!! Not super fast, but he's definitely able to scoot to whatever he seems to want. He can now sit up on his own, unassisted. He is eating like a champ and can't wait til he can have big people food. He will stare at whoever is eating and you can totally tell that he wants it so bad! He is eating with a spoon like a boss and it is his favourite past time!

This past month I have had auditions for my stakes production of Saviour of the World, and what an amazing experience that has been. We had auditions a couple weeks ago, and then preliminary callbacks last Sunday. And the next set of call backs is on the 1 of December, then we will get our parts. At the first call back they had me learn the parts for Mary and Mary Magdelene. So we will see how it goes. I am so excited that I am even being considered!!

We have officially started working on the Christmas Spirit in our home!! We made ornaments the other day with Liam's handprint. And we put up the Christmas tree and Liam and I listened to Christmas music while cleaning the other day. I also wrapped up Liam's presents from us, and Jon's present from me. I am so excited to spend our first Christmas together as a family!! I went shopping for our Christmas Eve pajama's and wrapped them up and then got a Christmas Movie and wrapped it up and tagged it for the Mosher Family! I am so excited!! We are going to have so much fun!

So the other day Liam and I had a pretty funny experience. Liam was hungry, so I made him some cereal and applesauce and he was eating, really well too, but he was really tired. So he was in the middle of eating and then all of a sudden, he started dozing. Oh my goodness, I tried so hard to not laugh, but then he closed his eyes and then his head just fell! He then woke himself up and started crying until I gave him more food, then he acted like a little hungry bird... until he fell asleep again. Only this time he stayed out and food was drooling out of his mouth. I have to admit, I went into the other room to laugh heartily for a bit and then I came back out to take him out of his high chair and put him in his crib. 

Our first Thanksgiving as a family was a huge success. I ended up doing Thanksgiving for Jon's mom Barb and his brothers, which it ended up just being Chris. So I was researching how to cook turkey's for three weeks!! Well, the day came, the night before Thanksgiving, I brined my turkey and then made sure that I had all of the things for the next day. Then Thursday morning I woke up and prepped my turkey. I dressed it and then put it in the oven, terrified that it wouldn't turn out. But, five hours later, I pulled it out and it was amazing! It was falling apart, there was no carving needed. I went to cut the turkey and I pulled it off with tongs. It turned out so good. I was so happy with myself.
