The day was alot of traveling and some struggling in the car seat. We were very excited to get there finally and begin showing off my precious Ruth! She was rather shy and calm in the beginning. I was nervous about having food easily accessible. She did okay eating ham sandwiches on her plate. It was during a little prayer time at the shower, Ruth got a hold of a cupcake off Mary Clara's plate.... yes, the sugar rush hit!
I've never seen wild Ruth, and hope to not see it again. She was the only young child around and she took center stage.
Later, her second cousins started showing up with their dads and then fun began all over again. Here's a few pictures.
Ruth kept trying to touch Isaac Bunch and give him "five". Ruth is less than 2 months older.
Yes, the "unlocked" drawer was a first for Ruth. She threw every container and lid on the floor. Thank goodness she understood to put them away.
Then she stole everyone's toy. Each time the boys would get a new toy to play with, Ruth would run up and take it away. It didn't seem to bother the younger ones (Caleb Merritt and Noah Flanders). They are 15 months younger, but her same size.It sure was a great day and makes me look forward to our families' Thanksgiving celebration together!
