Thanksgiving in Colorado!

I can't believe how long this has taken me!! So Sorry!

As you can see from the post title, we spent our Thanksgiving holiday in beautiful Colorado this year with Brian's family. It was so great to see everyone and for all of the cousins to be able to spend time playing together. I was so nervous because poor Lilly had an ear infection before we left and I knew Nate would follow. Luckily, she was feeling better and Nate waited until after we got back to get sick, so everyone was in pretty good spirits while we were actually there! Just seeing the difference of all that the babies can say and do on their own now since we were there last January was amazing! They are running around now, and playing more independently. It made the whole trip a lot easier and more fun for all of us! The drive was not easier.. oh no, there was nothing easy about that.. but that is another post! Let's keep this one positive.. :)

Aunt Steph and Lilly..
Aunt Kelly and Lilly (Are you seeing a pattern here?)
Cousins playing..

We could not wait to see this little guy.. our nephew who just born in June and this was our very first time to see him! What a cutie he is!! Just smiling away!
Then there is Nate.. so jaded by life already.. not as easily amused.. :)
Lilly warmed up to Grandma pretty quickly..
Grandpa with two of his six grand kids! Lilly looks like a big girl next to the baby!
They had fun with sidewalk chalk in the driveway
Lilly stayed squatting so she wouldn't get her pants dirty. Smart girl!
Lilly really enjoyed making her aunts, uncles, and grandparents read to her (OVER and OVER)!
Nate and Daddy
Brian reading to the girls..
We did our Christmas while we were there too. Nate and Lilly had fun unwrapping this year! What a difference a year makes!
This was the best shot we could get of all the kids!
Yes, we do have a lot to be thankful for..

We miss all of you and love you very much!!
