Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we spent Thanksgiving day at Grandma and Grandpa's and it was lots of fun!  Abby thoroughly enjoyed playing with Uncle Eric, David, Stephen and Aunt Sarah and they all got to meet Lilly for the first time!  I forgot to take any pictures of the food this year but take my word for it, there was plenty and it was delicious as usual.  :)  We even had time to toss around a football in the backyard.  Then on Saturday we got to have another Thanksgiving feast at Bobo and Lucy's house.  Lucy's parents are here in preparation for baby time so it was great to see them and catch up as well.  Here are a few pictures from the past few days. I can't believe it's Monday already.  Back to reality!

The pumpkin cheesecake I made for Thursday.  I thought it was OK but everyone else liked it (or so they told me!).

Abby keeping up with the big kids!

Someone was being a ball hog!

Lilly hanging out with Aunt Karen in the gazebo.  The weather couldn't have been more perfect!  And just look at those chubby legs!

Father-daughter moment of playing catch.  ♥

Lilly is old enough to "ren ren" (recognize people) so she's taking a goood look at Aunt Sarah....

...and Aunt Karen.  Heehee....so cute!

Someone turned into a pouty pants on top of being a ball hog.  :)

I just like how extra chubby Lilly looks here.  ♥

Gotta keep up the calories!

Lilly looks like she's texting too.  Man, I can't get over how much her feet look like mine!

Abby's turn to crawl on Daddy!  :)

Lilly and Lao Lao soaking up the warm sun.  :)

Lilly and Jo Ma!  T-minus one month!!

The spread at Bobo and Lucy's house.  Everything was delicious!

Abby looooves when Lilly rides on her back.  We do it first thing every morning.  It makes both of them smile and laugh so much!  We love it!

Then Abby leans down to let Lilly dismount.  It's too cute!  Abby doesn't even mind one bit that Lilly is gripping onto her hair for dear life and pulling a handful of it out every time.  :)

Just a quick Lilly update:  She prefers standing instead of crawling or tummy time.  She actually started to let go of the couch or fire truck and tries to stand on her own!!!  She's really working hard on balancing!  She still doesn't have the hang of it but it's fun to watch her try on her own!  My prediction is she will walk by 10 months.  We also decorated the house today and we're in the holiday spirit already!  Bryce put up lights outside, the tree is up, mantle is decorated, stockings hung and I already started wrapping presents.  I love this time of year!
