Wow it has been a while! Last weekend was a lot of fun for us! We were able to finally travel beyond the city limits of Cedar and get as far as Bicknell! We were with my side of the family this year for Thanksgiving, which was lots of fun for me since this is the first year Andrew and I have gone with them because in the past I have had to work, so his fam has been great enough to come to us here in good old Cedar! It was really nice for the break from school! Come the Tuesday before Thanksgiving I had had enough and was ready to set the books aside for a few days and just spent time with Andrew, Emma, and family...my heaven here on earth;) We didn't do anything too exciting over the weekend, but did get to see everyone and enjoy their company. The kids loved holding and playing with Emma and she just loved all of the attention! She must be getting more accustomed to noise because when they all get toether they love to play and be loud and she slept right through it when it came time to go to bed! She is doing so much better at nights..which is very nice since she doesn't hardly sleep at all throughout the day!
Here are some of the boys doing the dishes after dinner! This is a new thing..usually they are watching football while the girls clean up, so this was a nice suprise! Except as you can see Andrew is relaxing, this was his day off too, since he is the best husband ever and helps me cook and clean all the time!!
Here is Grandpa trying to feed Emma. He was so good with her all weekend and kept taking her and playing with her, and trying to feed her licorice and grape punch...I had to put a stop to that;)
Emma absolutely loved Mitch, she would smile so big whenever he came around and talked with her. He spent lots of time entertaining and playing with her! Thanks Mitch, you are such a great cousin!
I love Thanksgiving because it makes me ponder and think about all the many things I am grateful for. The more I think about it the more I realize I am so blessed. I have an amazing husband, sweetest baby, and the best family on both my side and Andrew's! Life may seem crazy and feels like it is flying by but it is good and I am so grateful for all I have!

Holy cow! You cut your hair! It looks great tamara... So sassy. :) Glad you had a good thanksgiving.
Sounds like you had an awesome Thanksgiving. I loved the picture of the boys doing the dishes - that's what we're trying to incorporate into the Peterson family gatherings as well... ha ha. I'm glad your little family had time for a little stay-cation and get away from the busy life here in Cedar. Emma is such a doll. I'm so happy for you - best of luck with everything.
