Dance Recital

I found this picture on my table today. She drew this herself! I love the three wisemen on the right and the shepherds. How precious is this picture?!!

I let her "pose" and tell me when to take the picture. This first picture is when she said she wasn't ready. Love it. She was so cute in her dance recital. As soon as I picked her up she asked when she can go back on stage and perform.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so COLD!! I think most everyone had a pretty chilly holiday and thank goodness no one got in an accident on the way to visit us. I did have cousin and his wife whose car broke down half-way here though. Bummer.

Another cousin drove ALL the way from New Mexico...yikes. And that's with 2 little kids.

My cousin Anya made an awesome ABC blanket for my baby:

Alex's Brother BJ came up for the day too - and even washed all my dishes.

Thanksgiving crowd minus 3.

(I was taking the picture and Jared was taking care of the baby)

And yes - those are mismatched plates. I was going to get out my china and then I realized I had 3 yappers to worry about - and decided that mismatched plates with plastic bowls made everyone feel more at home anyway.
