Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

This year was a very special Thanksgiving because it was Caitlin's 1st Thanksgiving!
Here's a recap of our Thanksgiving in pictures!!!


Our little turkey! We picked this onsie out back in August, so it was so special to finally have our daughter here to wear it!


Abigail and I made chocolate-covered pretzels to bring with to Thanksgiving. Abigail ate one pretzel for every 2 I dipped in chocolate. Check our her new slippers...Thanks Tracey and Andrew for the gift, she LOVES them!!!!


Caitlin catching up on sleep with Aunt Katie on Thanksgiving Eve. Aunt Katie spent the night visiting with the girls and the morning of Thanksgiving helping get the girls ready! Kate, the offer to hire you as our nanny is still on the table!



Miss Abigail on Thanksgiving. This cup of water was hours of entertainment for her.



Beth, Great-Grandma Fran, Bob, Neici, and Rob. Rob and I are so blessed that our families spend Thanksgiving together!



My dad with Turkey#1.



My mom with the turkey.



All the Thanksgiving excitement really wore Caitlin out. She never woke up once the whole day!


Our Thanksgiving Family Tradition...Shots when we turn on the Christmas lights! Rob and I were watching Nat'l Lampoon X-mas Vacation and we decided that next year my dad is going to have to add a "Joy to the World"...but we did get a great drumroll this year!


And the lights!!! The whole house used to be full of lights...but my dad is getting wiser with age! :) For those who don't know the "ladder" story from when I was a kid, that's for another time!
******************
And who could forget this adorable picture of Abigail when she was a newborn???? We found a very similar bowl at my mom's house and decided to recreate this picture with Caitlin.




So after a few drinks and a shot....this is what we got:

Okay, the bowl is too small, Caitlin was not happy, and the effect is NO WHERE the same....but it sure was funny when we did it! Poor Caitlin.



It was a LONG and WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!!!! We have so much to be thankful for this year....namely 2 little miracles!!!!!!
*Thank you to Aunt Katie for your pictures...because I didn't take many pictures I don't have any of Aunt Katie because they are mostly from her Camera!

Looks like it was a fun (and maybe a little tipsy) Thanksgiving for everyone! Sorry to have missed Caitlin's first official holiday but we will make it up with a very fun xmas!!! I love your elmo boots Miss Abigail!

Caitlin in a bowl made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Glad you had such a great thanksgiving!

Caitlin was not a happy camper in her little bowl, but it was fun staging the picture.
