The Little Turkey

Ila celebrated her fist Thanksgiving at home in Brooklyn wearing a sweet velour suit from Mary's friend, Kristen Hurst. Grandma & Grandpa Dye and Grandma Vivie & Grandpa Doug all came up from Virginia to spend the weekend with her. She dined on breast milk for the holiday but encouraged mommy to eat lots of collard greens and pumpkin pie. The turkey was twice as big as Ila. She fit perfectly on the platter!



The next few days were spent in the city. We visited Bryant Park and stopped by the holiday windows. Ila's favorites so far are at Bergdorf Goodman. She dreams of one day wearing the Marchesa gown and Christian Louboutin heels featured in the window. So does her mommy.



Ila also spent time with Lily and caught up on her reading over the weekend. Currently her favorite is "Fish & Canoe" from Aunt Ally. She especially loves the page of shiny jacks!





After all that reading Ila was ready for some exercise. She played Annie Oakley on Grandpa Dye's knee and enjoyed it greatly! She also learned the tune of Boomer Sooner. If only grandpa Dye could accept that she is destined to be a Carolina Tarheel!
