Thanksgiving & other pics

Granny bought Ella a baby boy doll so she could start learning to take care

of her baby brother or at least helping mommy.  She's been taking such good

care of him as well as her baby brother since he's been here.  She puts her

baby in her high chair after she eats every meal, puts her baby in his

bouncer, feeds and burps her baby and gives her baby tons of hugs and

kisses all day long. 

A couple weeks ago, Chris made some homemade, from scratch, all organic

chocolate chip and walnut cookies.  They were the best darn cookies I've

ever had!!!

Can you tell that Ella loved them too!?!?!?!?

Ella's pink pancakes with some pollenta...Chris warmed this up for me and put
it on the plate in the shape of a smiley face.  :-)

Ella wearing Daddy's hat.

Ella fell asleep at dinner time in her highchair two days in a row a couple
weeks ago. We were being loud and even video taped her and she didn't budge.

Now on to Parker...would ya look at those cheeks!
He has certainly filled out.

Parker loves the moby wrap!  He sleeps so peacefully in it.

Now on to Thanksgiving.  We celebrated Thanksgiving with Chris' family
on Thursday in Navasota at Chris' Grandma Glenda's.  The food was fabulous
and we got to visit with Chris' cousins and Aunt & Uncle who live in Ohio.
I love this picture of Pawpaw and Ella!

Sofia and Chase

Aunt Diane finally got to see and hold Parker...
Parker got to wear his tie onesie and jeans from Aunt Jojo and
Ethan's old shoes from when he was a newborn.

We got to see Uncle Greg and Colton who we don't get to see
a lot of these days.

Ella got to sit at her very own table with Roman.

Very rarely do I get this picture...glad I did!  Grandma and her babies....LOL

Pawpaw and Stella...he loves his girls...

Love this picture of Ella's Great Grandma Glenda (Nana) and Ella on the piano.

Now on to Friday...We have been celebrating Thanksgiving with my side
of the family on the Friday after Thanksgiving for the past couple 3 or 4 years
to make it easier on us all.  I really like the set up because then we get to spend
plenty of time with both sides of our family and we don't have to rush.
Ethan smiles for the camera so good!

Me and Ethan.

Love these pictures of Ella and Ethan...

We had an awesome Thanksgiving as usual and it made it even better
that Parker was with us for his first holiday and healthy!
I am so very thankful for so many things including my family, my friends and my health.
God has blessed us with so much and I thank him daily for those blessings.
Hope you all had a beautiful thanksgiving and have a wonderful
upcoming holiday season.
God Bless!
