Thanksgiving and a little R love for Baby H...

Before Christmas overtakes us here, I wanted to share with the class "Why I am thankful for our fabulous Thanksgiving."

  • I am so thankful for M&A and adorable niece E who spent the whole week taking care of us - cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, preparing for Thanksgiving, and loving up on all our kids including lots of H-snuggle time.
  • (I am also thankful for the fabulous write-up of our time together that A did on their blog - such. great. photos.)
  • I am thankful for the entire R clan who drove up to spend Thanksgiving with us.
  • I am thankful to most of the clan for staying in a hotel - we love you all but that really helped keep the house sane with a 2.5 week old baby!
  • I am thankful for my grandma who came along and all the wonderful gifts she brought Baby H - his stocking, baptism outfit, "Nana quilt", booties and burp rags
  • I am thankful for L&J who took our big kids swimming at the hotel pool
  • I am thankful for Mom and Dad and Grandma who recovered our chairs (in what was I swear less than 30 minutes)
  • I am thankful for playing games and visiting and laughing and eating such good food with my wonderful family - each one of you is truly a blessing to us!
And now for a few bunch of pictures!  The first set is a little Baby H love from Nana and aunts and uncles...then some for all the kids...and finally some from a photo shoot that the lovely c.e.b. did with our family (hopefully I am not spoiling any Christmas card pictures...other than ours, but the way things are going you might see ours by Valentine's Day if we are lucky!).

Nana and H spent a lot of quality time with each other...I think they both loved it.
