Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year...much to be thankful for....including buying a house! Yes, you read that correctly...we finally bought a house! We should close on it Dec. 10th!! We are so very excited about it...and can't wait to move it. (Pictures of it to come later!)

Brad, Suzanne, Lexi, & "little man" (their nickname for baby #2 on the way!) drove up from Oregon to spend Thanksgiving with the family. It was a lot of fun to have all 3 girls together again. They are getting SO big!! Lexi is walking now & Elisabeth is really close so it makes for lots of fun!! It's neat to see them interact with each other & carry on "conversations" with each other. Jaelyn was in heaven because Brutus, their 240lb english mastif, made the drive as well. She sure gets excited when she sees him...but doesn't like it when he barks!

We tried doing a little photo op of the girls...but we could never get all 3 girls to sit still...actually both Lexi & Elisabeth were the ones on the go!! No sitting still for these girls!! Jaelyn was actually a champ and kept saying "cheese" to the camera!!

...so we decided to have them all stand up by the coffee table...this kept them occupied for a couple more seconds at least!!

Then it was bath time for the girls. It first started off being a solo event for Lexi. But Jaelyn wanted in on the fun and came and asked me if she could join. (She pulled on her shirt...like she wanted it off and kept pointing to the tub!) So, in Jaelyn went. Elisabeth soon came upstairs and wasn't planning on taking a bath...but somehow got soaking wet from the 2 girls splashing...so in she went!! It was pretty funny to watch the girls play in the tub.

Here are the 3 girls (Elisabeth, Jaelyn, & Lexi) having some fun in the tub.
