Thanksgiving!

On Thanksgiving last year we were just coming home from the hospital with our newborn baby.  It's amazing how much can change in one year!  We now have a very happy 'almost toddler' running around with us!

 

This year, we went to Alexandria for the day to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family.  It was an amazing day and everyone had a great time together.  Chelsea especially loved playing with her cousins. 

 

 

We tried to take pictures of the kiddos before leaving home, but Chelsea wasn't in the mood

 

The kids spent the majority of the time playing in Alayna's room and Joel and Jillian's house.  Chelsea's eyes grew wide with amazement at all the barbies and ponies.

 

Daddy and Tyler!

Tyler was very tired but refused to fall asleep in his pack n play.  He seemed to prefer laying on daddy's shoudler

 

Banana's always make Tyler happy.  I had to pull out the 'big dog' to calm him down for a bit.
