Thanksgiving

After our weekend in Idaho, we drove to Colorado to spend Thanksgiving with Skigh's family. We had a lot of good food to eat everyday, thanks to Skigh's mom.

We managed to fit everyone at the same table for Thanksgiving dinner.

Bailey was excited to see Bernadette (her only older cousin). As soon as she saw her, she started clapping and making her high-pitched, excited sounds. She LOVES being around other kids. Bernadette wasn't too sure about her at first, but she warmed up after a little while.

This became one of their favorite pass times. They would pound on the keyboard, and when we turned on the preprogrammed music, they would start dancing. It was so cute.

On top of good food and music, there was also no shortage of dogs. At times, there were four dogs running around the house. Yes, FOUR DOGS. And three babies. It was quite the scene. Bailey loved the dogs. She was a little unsure about them at first and just liked watching them from a distance, but then she felt confident enough to crawl right up to them and follow them around.

This is how Kreat coped with all the commotion.

Sometimes we would go out for a little fresh air and take a walk. Bailey always loves being outside.



This trip was a little tough for Bailey. She got sick for the first time. She had a cold and was running a fever. She was very clingy to Skigh and me as a result. She wouldn't really let anyone else hold her.



This trip was especially important because Skigh's grandma traveled all the way from Florida to visit. It was great to meet her. She loved being around the little kids.




We were also very excited to meet Marshall Kade, the newest addition to the Lewis family. He's only three months and almost the size of Bailey! Kreat and Lauren have been blessed with a very good baby.


He would often have a very surprised look on his face. It was so funny. Here he is with his mom, Lauren.


This was another favorite activity of Bailey and Bernadette's. They would both sit and pull out all the CD cases. We would put them back in, and they would take them back out. Over and over and over again. It was a lot of fun, as I'm sure you can imagine.





A goodnight kiss from Grandma.




Here's Bernadette with her mom, Kate.

As Quinta and Katie call them, "Brothers" with their babies.

Next year will be even more fun when Bernadette, Bailey, and Marshall are all running around. It's crazy to think about.
