Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a little bittersweet this year..  Makenna had a bad cold which meant at the last minute our plans to go up to mom & dad's house changed and we decided to divide & conquer.

We decided to make lemons out of lemonade and invited Brad's family over for a Thanksgiving breakfast before Alex and I hit the road to head to my parents.

Cousin love

She loves her some baby Laila!

We had a nice morning with Brad's family and even got to squeeze in some snuggles before mama and Alex hit the road.

Macy's day parade fun

Happy Thanksgiving Kenna girl!

Alex slept on the way.....

And we made a pitstop to visit Cookie Beek!

She love, love, loved seeing this little cutie

Makenna was sure to send us with a sweet card to give to Papa

He was SOOO uncomfortable that day.....he didn't even join us for Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's BUT it was great to be able to spend some time with him and 

Alex loved loving on his Oma

We made sure to facetime these honies, too

A little Dunkin Donuts at Oma's house...... yummy!

And maybe a pit stop at the outlet mall for a little Black Friday shopping:) 

Home sweet home

Alex was very excited to show Sissy our black friday deal - matching Snowflake Jammies!

A good game of hide & seek

And some special one on one time with my Kenna girl on Saturday

Love decorating for Christmas

And on Sunday we headed to the Dells for our annual tax seminar

Crocodile!

So blessed

Woah, look at all those tickets!

Coolest mom EVER when I won her this Elsa doll!

Makenna LOVED riding on all the waterslides this year.  One night just she and I went down to the waterpark after Alex was in bed and we rode the slides until they closed.  She was FEARLESS!

Be still my heart....

We even stopped in Madtown so daddy could show off his old stomping grounds
