Thanksgiving!

This time of year always brings about a feeling of nostalgia for me. We spend the time reminiscing of loved ones and thinking back to our past. It is such a sweet time of year. A time for decorating, singing, laughing, baking, shopping, and just enjoying our family. We have spent the past few days hanging out as a family and it has been wonderful. We went to Illinois to visit my family that lives there and we had a great time. Julia got to hang out with her cousin Nora and she really enjoyed herself. I was also so pleased at how well behaved and grown-up the girls were. It was such a great trip. So although Julia DID manage to break an unknown dish and get covered in water from head to toe (which we have NO idea where it came from - the toilet most likely) the trip was a success!

Yesterday we put up the tree and decorations and watched Christmas movies (after Black Friday shopping of course). Then I decided to take the girls' picture for our Christmas card. Sophie got a kick out of seeing her mommy jump around making silly noises so Julia would smile! It turned out really cute. What do you think?
