We are thankful and full of blessings!

We started Thanksgiving weekend with a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation viewing on Wednesday night. It is a yearly tradition to open the holiday season with our favorite Christmas movie. We ate an early Thanksgiving dinner at Jeff's Mom's house...what an amazing cook, we definitely got our fill. She gave Maddie a beautiful pearl bracelet for her baptism, we love that she works at Jewelry Design Center :) Then we headed to Grammy's house for round 2. It was so fun to spend time with all the fam, including all the baby cousins. We got several rounds of Settlers of Catan in, and my embargo with Brad is still in place. Friday night was a family photo shoot and game night. We have a special picture that includes all my brothers and sisters and all our kids. We can't wait to post on the blog but we have to wait until Christmas...it's a SURPRISE! Saturday was the 3rd annual bonfire at Jeff's Dad's house, the flames reached 40 feet! Sunday was Madison's special day. She was baptized and became a child of God! We are so blessed to raise her knowing the Lord. She has an amazing set of Godparents who will always guide her and keep her accountable. It was so fun to celebrate her day with friends and family!

Great family pics!!! I love the brown dress that Maddie is wearing in the pics with all the cousins! ADORABLE! I was just thinking that I can't believe Maddie is already 3 months! Doesn't it fly by? Hallie is rolling everywhere, she is never in the same spot, she is a busy girl! Miss you guys and wish we could play settlers with you guys we love that game!
