Thanksgiving One and Two!

Has it really been over a month since I posted last? Wow - time really flies when life is fun and busy! We have definitely been busy, but add to that the fact that I can no longer connect to the internet on our laptop which leaves our desktop computer as my only option for blogging. Why is this a problem you may ask? Well, let me just say it took me a couple hours just to get on the internet and upload the pictures for this post. Yeah, I was avoiding the complete time sucker, but the longer I wait the farther I get behind so I braved the storm!

So back to the happenings of our time away from the blog - We had a great month complete with lots of family time and two Thanksgiving celebrations. We kicked off the party down at the Malarsie household where we had our Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday.

First, we had to do a side by side comparison of the two current babies in the family. Here's Eden and her adorable cousin Lincoln. Kally and I were due about six weeks apart, but obviously our babies are much farther apart due to Eden's early arrival. It didn't take Lincoln long to catch right up to her size though! Lincoln did manage to spit up on her as we were trying to take photos, but I guess he thought he could make up for it by holding her hand. :o)


It's hard to tell what feet belong to each baby, but Eden's is the top foot.


No question here though - Lincoln's hands are way bigger!


Eden also got in lots of good snuggling time with Grandma Malarsie.


Eden also got lots of love and attention from her adoring cousin Jade. Jade was such a good helper by making sure Eden kept her pacifier in her mouth.


Jade also brought this little furry chick all the way down to grandma's house just to show it to Eden. I think she loved it almost as much as she loves her cousin Jade!


Mmmmm... the food was So good!


And so were the games.


We were so glad to have my brother Michael home to celebrate with us. He is now serving our country over in Afganistan so we have been doing lots of praying for him since he left, and we can't wait until he gets home!



On Thanksgiving day we were fortunate to have a second Thanksgiving feast with some of Brad's family who came into town to celebrate with us. We had such a great time and are so thankful for you guys for making the trip out here to be with us! Matt and Heidi, and Jeff and Julie - we really missed you guys!

Of course there were lots of games played with this side of the family too...


And also lots of snuggling. Little Eden was spoiled.



These two guys kept us all in line throughout the week. Especially the one on the left!


We couldn't let them go back to California without first posing for a picture with Eden.


And Jeff felt left out so we had to make sure he got included too! :o)


So to sum it up, Thanksgiving was an awesome and fun time for us and we are so blessed to have such amazing family.

But the fun didn't stop there! There were a lot of other fun events and updates during this time of blogging haitus. Stay tuned!
