So Much to be Thankful For

The photos below are highlights from the girls birthday with Big Daddy and Nanny. We had a small celebration before their real party. I think we felt a little guilty making them wait so long for Thanksgiving weekend.

Emma and Addison had several opportunities to celebrate their birthday. Once on the actual day with Mom and Dad. Again with Big Daddy and Nanny, Mom and Dad before our vacation. And a third time with most of the family at Thanksgiving.

We had a great Thanksgiving at the farm with family. The cousins are getting to the age that they really enjoy each other. It's so nice that they are so close in age.

Just a little cousin love.

During our Thanksgiving weekend we had a birthday party for Addison and Emma. The farm is a great central place where both sides of the family can meet. Plus, the girls absolutely LOVE being at the farm. We were glad that Aunt Emily and Uncle Jeff  were there to celebrate too. They came all the way from Austin, TX!

Emma enjoyed licking the writing and saying, "Mmmmm name" She recognized her name and Addi's name. Ha!

Thank you to all our family for helping make such sweet memories for our girls. I'm so excited for the next time we can all be together! Not only will we get to celebrate Christmas, but we will also be celebrate the return of our brother-in-law (Uncle BoBo aka Beau) from a LONG naval deployment. Our nephew, Grady, will also be turning 3! It's going to be a busy and joyful month!
