Happy Thanksgiving - a day late

Sorry, I'm late with my Thanksgiving wishes. We celebrated the day at Katy's house in St. Paul along with my side of the family and Katy's in-laws (Roz, Jim, Jessa, Eric, and Jonah). There were a lot of people there but it was cozy and fun! There were three babies under the age of 1 so that kept us all on our toes. Madi's first Thanksgiving meal was cranberries, squash, mashed potatoes, and a tiny bite of turkey. I put a little of everything on her height chair tray but these are the only things I saw her eat. Poor grandpa Richard sat on the other side of her and she used his shirt sleeve as a napkin. His left arm was covered in squash and potatoes! He loved every minute of it, like a good Grandpa should :0). Grandma Barb bought Fredrik and Madi matching outfits to take Christmas pictures. Well we had good intentions. The pictures did NOT turn out too well! The two babies were much too interested in everything else to pose for a picture. We tried everything but they were exhausted, hungry, over-stimulated, and just plain pooped out. We will try again next weekend, I think. Madi had her Christmas photos taken by our neighbor, Jessica Milkes, today at Aunt Bev's house. Aunt Bev has her beautiful house all decorated up for Christmas so it was a perfect setting. Grandma Barb hit the black Friday sales this morning and got an adorable little red plaid chair just Madi's size! Madeline loved that chair! Jessica did a great job and I can't wait to see those photos this weekend! I'll be sure to post a few when I get a chance.
