Thanksgiving fun!

We had a very busy, but very blessed Thanksgiving!

 

We have soooo much to be thankful for this year - I still can't believe we have 2 kiddos!!  Alex is such a blessing and as tough as it was getting everyone ready Thanksgiving morning after a rough night's sleep (or lack thereof) and a long loud drive to Green Bay with multiple pit stops, it was soooo worth it to be able to create memories like these...

Great Grandma was SO very excited to meet Alex.... warms my heart to see them loving on him - all 3 of our kids great-grandparents are in their mid 90's and going through infertility we often wondered if they'd live long enough to meet our kids - makes moments like these that much sweeter!

Makenna, of course, headed right for Great Grandma's organ.  I love how you can see Rita in the background loving on Alex....too sweet.

Thanksgiving lunch was too much for Alex - he was wiped out!

After Great Grandma and Grandpa #1 we headed over to Auntie Amy & Uncle Eric's house for Thanksgiving #2 - Makenna was SO excited to see her cousins!!  And Alex got to meet his cousins for the first time!

 

Snuggling in cousin's bed for naptime- watching movies.  Notice Makenna is the ONLY one awake - LOL!

Thursday night Makenna got dressed in Madison's PJ's, ran downstairs and in the most excited, cutest voice EVER asked me if she could sleep over.  How could I say no to this?  She had a blast! When Auntie Amy came in Madison's room at 5am before work Makenna, as wide eyed as can be, asked - "now can we watch Tinkerbell?"  Ha! 

Alex chillin' with Papa and watching some football while mommy catches a quick nap

Saturday we headed to Auntie Kate's baby shower.  Alex and little bean will be the first 2 grandkids that my parents have that will be the same age - all the others are spaced out by 2 or more years.

Silly faces

Chillin' with Cookie Beek

 

Saturday we headed over to Peggy's house to meet her little new baby, Tyler.  Tyler is just 3 days old here!  Alex snuggled right in with him.

Too sweet

 

 

We headed back on Saturday night and this little one had her fill of fun, excitement and SUGAR!  She crashed on the car ride home and daddy carried her up to bed, coat still on.  This is the sign of a GREAT weekend!!
