First Thanksgiving...

We are wrapping up our time in Kansas City with the Thanksgiving season, as we will move to Louisville this Wednesday. We couldn't have had more gratefulness welling up in our hearts as we joined in celebrating with three branches of family. My mom's table looked so pretty, as it does every year...
And this Thanksgiving was a special one, with two new lives at the table. Naomi and Lillian were the pride of the house this year, as we all surrounded them, taking pictures and watching them show off their skills. Lillie is amazingly brilliant, as we all already knew - she is turning over! She must have flipped over from belly to back six times in just a few minutes! Likewise, Naomi is quite adept at grunting next to her cousin and not moving anywhere. We couldn't be more proud.
My little chunker just wasn't quite full enough after her own turkey - she thought Lillie's hand tasted quite good! These are just the few pictures that will start out hundreds I'm sure we'll collect over the years. And we're all anxiously awaiting the arrival of girl cousin #4 in March to get in on the action!
In the evening on Thursday, we hung out with Grant's dad's side of the family. Sweet Hanna, our niece, held Naomi much of the night - she's a pro with that baby! Wish we could steal her and her sister, Aly, away to Kentucky for some live-in babysitting!
And, yes. My four-month old baby girl has had her first pedicure. How do you get around that with older girl cousins?! So fun.
It was a great day. On to Christmas... :)

  2. You are SO funny... "Likewise, Naomi is quite adept at grunting next to her cousin and not moving anywhere. We couldn't be more proud."

    And Suzanne's table looked amazing.
