We had quite a crowd at Thanksgiving this year! The most exciting part for Maddie was the fact that Alec was coming to her house. She insisted on busting out all her old "baby toys" and all the things she used to play with. Alec arrived home to find Nana and Maddie dressed in their princess best.

We were so excited to see Alec use his big strong legs to jump in Maddie's old bouncer. He loved it! Maddie loved helping him bounce and cheering him on.


Maddie told him all about her toys and showed him how it all worked.


Princess Sarah (what Katie made people call her for about 6 months when she was in preschool) and Princess Maddie played a lot of dress up. Here are their royal highnesses all dressed up.

We went to Forest Park (on a beautiful day!) for some family pics.



Amy, Manish and my kumra (that is a New Zealand sweet potato), Alec.

We couldn't get Alec to smile, so Amy and Manish adjusted to his style. I LOVE this photo!

Beautiful new mommy.

Nana and her bubbas

Nana and her boy

My mom told Maddie to go stand behind us. She ran up to us and put her arms around our neck. It was so sweet.

She then was totally done taking photos and took off running. I had to bribe her with fruit snacks (I have learned to always keep a pack on hand).



Two mommies and two sweet babies. We tried to get one where everyone was smiling and looking at one camera. Did not happen - but I like this shot anyway!

(Amy actually has a fabulous photo where Alec's legs are almost all the way up in the air and head on ground - it is really funny).

We then took a little trip to the zoo to see all the animals. It was a wonderful day!

That night, Maddie and Alec talked and talked about all sorts of things. I love this photo - just hanging out.

Before Auntie Katie left, we got a picture with her sweeties.

Nana and her bubbas all dressed up in their red PJs and snuggled down. Sweet photo!
