Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a fun family filled weekend with Grammy visiting from the east coast, a feast out in the 'burbs, and preparations for the Christmas season. The staff at Veronica Tales was asleep at the wheel on Thanksgiving before the tryptophan even kicked in and failed to take any pictures of Thanksgiving itself. But we did get some shots of Veronica in her Thanksgiving outfit before heading over to Uncle Sean's for dinner.

We went Christmas tree shopping the day of after Thanksgiving and Veronica helped us pick out a winner. And we kicked off a tradition of buying an ornament for Vv that symbolizes something she is really into each Christmas season. So we got her, what else? A birdie.

No week would be complete without a trip to the zoo. We found some more large flightless birds to gawk at and Veronica showed off her birdwatching skills with one her first words. We also got to visit with one of the family's investments. Not sure who bought futures in what can best be described as a dog-sized barking deer, but it's ours. We rounded out the day with some advanced birdwatching. The new ecosystem was initially perplexing, but Vv trusted her instincts, and not-yet-pointed-out-penguins met their match. Atta girl.

And for those of you toiling at work and looking for something to get you through the day, may we suggest a game of peek-a-boo?
