First Thanksgiving


It was Emma's first Thanksgiving! I can't believe she's getting so big. I forgot to take pictures during the dinner so I took some afterwards while we were relaxing and playing the Wii. She's been getting teeth lately so she's had the runny nose and some crankiness. Plus we've finally moved her into Madelyn's room and that has been a little hard on her (and our sleep). Overall though she is a pretty happy baby!

We had a small Thanksgiving, just my parents and Dustin my nephew came over to our house. It was nice and easygoing. After dinner we got my parents on the Wii for the first time and though I'm sure my dad won't admit it, I think he liked it! It was nice to have Dustin there. I don't get to see him real often since he's older and going to college. He sure has grown up to be a handsome, intelligent, responsible, and overall great nephew! I'm so proud of you and love you Dustin! After we played the Wii we played a board game with the kids and then we played Phase 10 for a little while. Chad, who complained about hating card games, won! Later we went to Chad's mom and dad's house for some pie. It was a pretty relaxing day!
