Cecilia's First Thanksgiving

Cecilia's first Thanksgiving was such a fun day! We started the day at the Turkey Trot in Upper Arlington. It is a 5 mile race that I have been running for the past few years. It is always fun to see the families out on Thanksgiving morning. Dan and I decided to do the 2-mile Walk and Talk. Next year I will be back to the 5 mile run!

After the trot, we went to Nana and Papa Wilson's house for an early dinner. Then we traveled down to New Lexington to see Nana and Grandpa Dodd and family.

Cecilia was such a good girl! It was a big day with a lotof traveling.

Cecilia's Baptism

Cecilia was baptized on November 8th at our local church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  After months of campaigning, it was so nice to have our family over to celebrate Ceci's big day and Dan's victory.

Our little angel!  She wore cousin Kaitlyn and Sophia's gown.  We planned to use the gown that Dan was baptized in.  It is a 100 year old gown that belonged to his Grandmother.  At the last minute we decided it was too fragile to use.  For those of you who have yet to meet Ceci, she loves to move and is constantly kicking her legs.

Getting ready for the big moment.

This is what Cecilia looked like most of the mass.  Thank goodness she is so darn cute!

Sleeping in Daddy's arms after everyone left.  What a big day for Cecilia!
