Thanksgiving 2011

We are so excited that the holidays are here!  While it was fun having a newborn during the holiday season last year, it is so much more fun having a one year old to experience the holidays with this year!  Ella is at such a fun age and I have no doubt she has loved getting to spend quality time with family, which is really what the holidays are all about.  We kicked off the holiday season by spending Thanksgiving at my parents house.  They hosted a beautiful meal, where we ate too much, and enjoyed a loud and crazy day with seventeen of us!

We loved getting to hang out with David and Emily, who came up from Eugene for the long weekend

 My cousin Linda and her family came up from Scottsdale, AZ for the weekend - it was so great to see them!  Love these cute girls - Alaina and Jessica (6) with Ella.

We have so much to be thankful for and are so blessed by our wonderful family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving!
