Thanksgiving Week 2013

It was a crazy Thanksgiving week. We started out with my sister and Marley spending the night the Friday night before. My sis had to go to the airport for a bit so we took care of Marley while she was gone. Marley was drawn to the TV so we set her up on the boppy like this and she was content. I love to see her little chubby arms hanging over.
Eli has been working on his tummy time. I got a picture of him holding his head up for a bit and enjoying his activity mat. He's growing up so quick!!
On Tuesday, my sis, mom, and I got together to make kolaches. Bri and I had only made them once at our baking class and we were a little rusty. They turned out better than expected, but we have a few kinks to work out for the next time. 
While we were making kolaches, my dad and brother were on baby patrol. I caught Eli napping with my dad in the recliner. I love this picture of them two.
On Wednesday, I made spice cake whoopie pies for the festivities the next day. They turned out so delicious. Chris says that the spice cake whoopie pies are his favorite.
Thanksgiving Day morning, we went to Mass as a family. It was so nice to give thanks for the two greatest gifts I have been given. 
Our little turkey was all dressed up for the day. Chris took an awkward picture of him, but we were rushed getting ready for church.
But I did get this one with my little turkey.
 My niece wanted to play with Eli. She thought he was her baby doll to take care of.

Chris and Brianna went to Target to get in line for an iPad that evening, so the rest stayed back to watch the babies. Marley was glued to the football game sitting on Papi's lap.

 I hope everyone had a thankful and happy Thanksgiving. Looking forward to this Advent season and preparing my heart for the coming of Christ.
