A little late Thanksgiving post


I have avoided this for too long!  I'm sorry but these past couple of weeks have been so busy!  Full of fun family events, though.  I have been a terrible photographer, unfortunately, and most of these pictures were stolen from various family members who remembered their cameras.  So there are lots of holes (which is probably why I haven't blogged in so long!)  Anyway, here is our Thanksgiving in a nutshell.  Lots has happened since then, but we will just save all that for another post.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with Julia's Grammy and her Aunt Pam and Aunt Jeannie.  We had fun and ALOT of great food!



We also celebrated at Nick's Nana's house.  More awesome food and good times.  Here is where a hole comes in.  I don't have pictures from the actual day, but it looked a lot like the one below.   Julia pretty much sat on her Nana's lap and played with her toys for the entire afternoon.  She loved it.  And I think Nana enjoyed it too.  :)


Friday we headed to Marietta for some more celebrating.  We actually had an early Christmas celebration there because Steph, Remi and Camille are going to be in France for Christmas day.  We had so much fun!  Julia got a TON of cool presents and loved opening them.




She got a precious baby doll from Stephi and Remi and loved her so much.  Look at that passionate kiss! ;) You can also see her new push toy/wagon and adorable hippo toy from her grandparents!
Not pictured: a cute, snuggly sweater dress from Jami and Andy and some amazing building blocks from Mimi and Pops.  I'm telling you, she racked up.
The next day, most of my extended family came to my parents' house for Thanksgiving.  It was so wonderful to see everyone!  My grandparents just loved on their Great-Grandchildren.

Playing with all their cool new stuff

We even got to go out to dinner one night...

while these two babysat!


We are so thankful for ALL of our family.

Very sweet. Early Christmas celebrations are the best because when they are over there is no "let down"...you still have Christmas to look forward to. Cute as always.

Julia has been having so much fun with all these holidays!
Part of this post I felt like I had seen before hmmm:)
Maybe we should just share a blog that would be fun, twice the posts twice the fun.
I love the way your dad is holding Julia so tight in that last picture! Your parents look so happy with their little gals!
and last but not least in my random commenting your Grandfather does look somewhat like John Locke

Oh my sweet sweet niece. She is such an adorable ham for the camera, even if she's grumpy or tired. And that kiss! I'm glad Camille will have someone to share her passion for baby dolls. I can't wait to have them together again.
