We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving in Fond du Lac with the Ellestad family this year.
Isaac and Leo enjoyed some tummy time together --- I think it looks like they could be sky diving and are trying to hold hands to stay connected!
Uncle Jojo got lots of baby time with both boys.
Carol and her boys - typically this is how Wednesday night ends - Carol cooking/ cleaning up the kitchen and the boys finishing their beers for the evening and talking.
Notice Patrick's hunting beard --- back off ladies, I know you are are jealous!!!
Thursday morning breakfast --- ice cream cones?!?
New tradition at the Ellestad house?
Maybe it helps make more room for the turkey... either way, the kids were pumped!
Eric and Landon out hunting squirrels!
Aunt Jenny gave both girls lovely "Frozen" hairstyles for Thanksgiving.
The only photo I got of anyone sitting down at a table!
Family snuggle and giggles after supper.
Claire and Elise looking in from outside --- doesn't it look like they are on TV?
Leo was loving him some Grandma time --- Carol was making a soft clicking noise and he just nestled in to her. So sweet!
Isaac and Leo in their Turkey day bibs!
Post meal nap
8 cousins --- not the greatest photo --- and our kid was by far the worst (crying like someone was biting off his toes) --- you would be amazed at what we did to get a few "okay" photos ....
It looked something like this!
Now tell me, who wouldn't smile to see all of your aunts and uncles dancing and singing for you?!?
Close up of Allie and James --- don't they look miserable?!?
:)
Friday the kids spent some time outside --- Jack is really into shoveling and was enjoying some Christmas carols on Grandpa's headphones!
I woke up from a nap (yay for me! - thanks Patrick!) in time to snap a few pictures --- James was pumped to be outside and was crawling all over the place. I stopped him long enough to re-tuck in his shirt and pull up his snow pants --- the kid didn't even care that he had snow and cold air on his belly - such a boy!!!
James and Claire on a snow bank
Isaac preferred to stay inside this year - rockin' and rollin' in the exer-saucer.
First major holiday under the belt --- this crazy snuggle pudge is fitting in quite nicely!
Hope your holiday was lovely too!
