All snug in Grammy and Papas Bed

Thanksgiving night we pulled out the xmas PJs that Grammy Ann bought for her grandbabies.  She's been looking everywhere for matching jammies and finally Aunt Amy found some at the Disney Store.  All she wanted was her 'lovies' in matching jammies and her and papa as well for a picture.  Oh and bare tootsies - a must!

How do you like that for some holiday spirit?!

These just get better and better don't they?!  Check our Jayne!

Grey was spent with pictures...and how about Papa Mike here -boy oh boy -I tell ya!

It's the holiday season - la di da...

At least the kids had a ball jumping all over grammy Ann's king size bed!

Sailor is 5 months old

Here we are baby girl, another month has gone by and you are just as sweet as can be.  You truly are a happy go lucky baby for the most part.  Your eyes can light up a room and we love the smiles we've been getting from you.

You are still the best little nurser...you love your ninie (that's what we call it)  I started you on cereal recently and you could take it or leave it.  So then I tried oatmeal and you are the same way.  As I said, we tried giving you sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving and you were the same way and I thought you'd LOVE those.  So I guess I will just keep trying veggies and see what happens.

You still LOVE to watch your big brother and he can sometimes get the biggest smiles out of you.

You also love to grab at your toes...we've already discussed just how flexible you are...

We also can't get over all this drool.  We've been saying this for quite some time now...But I keep checking your gums and there is NOTHING so far.  You constantly chew on your fingers...CONSTANTLY!

You like to blow raspberries too...Grey will ask -"mommy why is Sailor doin' that?"  Ha!  It's cute and you just look at him...

You are soooooooooooo observant...you don't miss a trick -that's for sure...I put you in your exersaucer much more these days and you are getting better at staying in it....you will also sit in your bumbo for a little bit at least enough time to let me get at least one thing done:)

Look at that nose

You still love to babble and we all love when you get on one of your talking kicks...Auntie Georgia thinks you have a deep voice - it's cute and funny...

Here you are with those fingers in your mouth...you love to look at your hands too...which are the smallest, chubbiest little things - so cute!

I put you in the moby a lot because you like to be walked around...you are not one for setting down...

and talk about strong...you have been holding your head up since what seems like day 1 and all you wanna do is stand on whatever you can...there is no sitting for you...

YOu are still not the best sleeper though.  You get up every 2 hours.  I nurse you and then you are right back down.  And it seems like you take 3 naps a day.  One at 9 or around there...one at 12 or 1 and then an early evening nap...

And let me tell you - your cheeks are absolutely DELICIOUS!

And your hair...it just keeps coming and coming and coming...every morning you wake up I swear you have MORE hair...

Your eyes have stayed really blue and you are just filling out quite nicely.  We go to the doctor next week, so I can't wait to hear your stats!

We just LOVE you so much Sally!

And just one more to spread a little holiday cheer!

(Sailor Ann-5 months old)

We gobbled it ALL up

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful.  And although it was a little different and not all our loved ones were near it was still ALL good because we knew everyone was where they were supposed to be.  I am thankful today and everyday for my husband, wonderful kids, and my WHOLE entire family that I'm lucky enough to have.

We were able to skype with the Ernats in Hawaii on Thanksgiving who were sitting poolside while their turkey cooked in the oven.  See - I didn't feel bad for them - ha!  And we were so glad Uncle Just had his family with him!

Our Turkey Day started with the Turkey Trot (5K)....It really is a wonderful way to start the morning.  Nate and I used to run it almost every year and that was a run after a night of partying.  However, this year was minus the party night...Nate really wanted to run it with me but he ended up bringing Grey to watch instead.  Grey thought it was pretty cool.  There are soooo many people that run it now.

Auntie Georgia and Uncle Adam ran with me too...

After the run we all went home and showered while the guys went and bought their tickets at the bar - yearly tradition around here...

My mom hosted Thanksgiving this year...

Murphy joined us too...

Just a great day to cuddle up and be thankful

and of course watch some football on the couch...

Alex and the dogs...He watched Murphy while the Ernats were gone - Him and Murph were buds by the end of the week

We pulled out some fun turkey hats for the kids...

even the 'big' kids had fun...

Fits him well don't ya think?!

The family togetherness was running 'high' I'm here to tell you...Days like this are definitely needed...

The hostess getting ready to serve her meal

But first she was enjoying her glass of wine...

And in baby news, Sailor tried sweet potatoes for the first time...She ate a little bit...I thought she would gobble them down, but not so much...

Grandpa and his grandbaby

a lil' fun

And finally this lil' tot woke up...She slept through dinner but then was bright eyed and bushy tailed when she got up...

And after dinner, a little relaxing, and a few naps later...it was time to take family pics outside...

None of these are edited yet but I wanted to share our Thanksgiving with you...

They all crack me up...it was hard to get everyone looking at the same time...

Grandbabies are so much fun...at least that's what grammy Ann always says;)

and the whole crew...

Then it was back inside for some yummy pumpkin pie and an assortment of cheese cake -talk about delish...

and some more pics with grandma Joyce and Grandpa Hank

To end the night we pulled out some princess books....

and we broke out the Christmas PJs

I have more to share with the xmas pjs, but for now I must get something done...

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were surrounded by loved ones.  That's what it's all about.

A day like this to make memories and of course I hope you 'pigged' out a little anyway!

Happy Monday!
