Thanksgiving Day

God blessed us with the opportunity to travel to Mississippi to see my brother Paul and his family, my sister Rachel and her family, my parents, and my grandfather. We hadn't all been together since Rachel's wedding in December 2007! How we have grown since that time - I think we've doubled in size!

Emilia loved hanging out with all of her cousins. It's been since January that the "babies" got to be together, before Arabel. Guess they're not true babies anymore: there was much running, playing, and laughing. Can't wait to do it again next year! I'll save you the dialogue and let you enjoy the pictures.

 The "first" meet and greet: Ana and Emilia.
They're two months apart, so Ana just celebrated one year, too.

 Baby Arabel. She's so sweet! Love that she got to wear Emilia's Thanksgiving outfit from last year.

 Uncle Justin and Emilia (I believe she spotted the puppy.)

The girl cousins checking out each other. Note: Arabel is the same age and size Emilia was this time last year. It was neat to see them side-by-side.
