Thanksgiving with Granddad and EI!

We had such a great Thanksgiving! Brent and I decided not to travel for the holidays this year because it was going to be too overwhelming with Reece being so young. Two lap children on an airplane...can you imagine?! So, we were super excited when Granddad and EI decided to fly out and spend the holiday with us! Of course we always love when they come for a visit, but this time was extra special because it was their first time to meet Reece!

We have SO much to be thankful for every year, but especially this year. Most obviously would be our newest addition, Reece. I'm so thankful to God for blessing us with her. She's been such a sweet addition to our little family. I love watching Conlee with her. She's always wanting to give her kisses, and she's so helpful...bringing diapers and blankets and pacifiers and burp cloths. It's the most amazing thing to watch her love on her little sister. It melts my heart! It makes the sleepless nights worth it to know what great friends they'll be soon!

I tried my best to take my camera everywhere while Granddad and EI were here. These pictures are in random order, but you can tell what great fun it was having them here!

Conlee is obsessed with books, and she LOVED being read to by EI!




Conlee's new favorite playmate is her granddad. She had withdrawals for a week after they left.



We took Granddad and EI to our favorite little Greek restaurant.

It was Reece's inaugural visit to the restaurant...even though she enjoyed their food in utero for the last 9 months! Our waitress was excited to meet Reece since the last time we were there was the day before I delivered her!




Forget Jack in the box, we have Conlee in the box! With all the packages arriving this time of year, there are no shortages of boxes for Conlee. She had a ball with Granddad spinning her around and around!



Thanks for making the trip out to see us, Granddad & EI! We loved every minute of having you here!
