Happy 18 months!! (& Thanksgiving recap)

Happy 18 months Eli! You have had a very busy month!
Happy 1st Birthday to Parker! Tom and Jessie had a reindeer and gingerbread man themed birthday party for Parker, which was adorable just like him!

Zoey and Zak welcomed little Reed to the world. He was very sweet to have his eyes open for us the entire time we visited. Such a cutie!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Michigan this year and had a great time! Here are a few pictures from the festivities.

Grandma set a beautiful table and made a wonderful Thanksgiving meal! We love her so!

Eli always has fun with Nana. She is so nice.

Grandma and Aunt Moe had lots of toys for Eli to play with.

Eli thought the food was delicious!

It was nice to have everyone at one table.


Eli loved playing with his cousins. He still asks for Neil quite a bit.


We were glad Uncle Len and Aunt Beryl joined us.


Grandpa Don and his brother, Len. Handsome brothers!


All the girls went shopping on black Friday.


Lauren, me, and Ashley. I love these girls!

Lauren and Dave at the Ford museum on Saturday. It's a great museum.

Eli enjoyed all the "Cha-choos".

My immediate family went to see Straight No Chaser the night before Thanksgiving. I highly, highly recommend going to see them. It was very entertaining and we will definitely go again!

Eli liked playing with all the cousins at the Schultz Thanksgiving too.


These girls were so nice to Eli.

He thought he was a big kid!

He liked playing poker with Grandma Jackie and Aunt Kelly. He loves his Grandma Jackie!

I was very thankful we don't have stairs in our house after Thanksgiving. My legs were sore the next day from chasing Eli !



Eli you are 18 months old today! Time goes by so quickly with you in our lives. You are very busy. We love how much you are talking! Your favorite things right now are HoHo, Curious George, buses, and trains. You also love to walk around in adult shoes. We can't get you to eat much more than "roni" and you are a very big milk drinker. We have the Christmas tree up and you love to pull all the bows off the presents. You get really mad when the lights on the tree turn off, and I think you will be sad when it's gone. We may just leave it up all year!
