Grandma and Grandpa Gehrels came to visit us over the Thankgiving Holiday weekend. We had a wonderful time with them. Grandpa and Aaron put in new exterior doors at our house while Meema, Meredith and I shopped all day on Friday! Yesterday we baked Christmas goodies. Aaron and I got to go out on a date last night while Meema and Papa babysat. Ask them about that experience... While they were here, Meredith was introduced to a few new things, pictured below (chewing on celery and wearing a barrette).

Happy Thanksgiving!

They brought her a new favorite toy. The first thing she does with it is flips it upside down. Apparently it's more fun when you just try smashing the different buttons into the ground.

Papa and Meredith shared a birthday on the 26th. Papa turned 49 and Meredith was 7 months.

She had two really runny, very messy diapers today... because of her new food?

You think this is cute, you should see the one she gets to wear in her hair that matches her Christmas dress. Her Daddy and I just melt when we look at her in her 'Christmas outfit'.
