From Halloween to Thanksgiving

Here is my attempt to play catch up. We've been too busy having fun to blog. Not to mention my computer crashing and dying. Luckily, my fabulous brother in law was able to save the 6 months worth of pictures I hadn't backed up, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing any of these. So here we go: Halloween was a blast with Iron Man, Spiderman and our little pink piggy. ALL of my family came out to Seattle for Thanksgiving and Erica's blessing. We had so much fun all together!Erica met her aunts, uncles and cousins and she loved them immediately.Joseph and Alexis helped set the table for Thanksgiving dinner. Check out our homemade placemats and place cards. My parents rented a house in the area that was big enough for the whole family to congregate at and it worked out so well. Our Thanksgiving dinner was soooo yummy. My mom put it together on the road and it tasted just like home. I had fun cooking with her.Justin and Elle enjoying a show.We had some fun around town.Then it was blessing time. Here is the girl of the day.Marc and Connie came up for the day and so did Bruce and Carol. It was so fun to have everyone together for such a special occasion. Her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing surrounded by family.Here's the whole crew.Grandma and Grandpa JolleyProud parents.Our new family of five.A huge thank you to everyone who traveled, especially in such scary weather to be with us. It meant so much to have you here! Erica thanks you too.

I've been waiting for this and it was great to see all the adorable photos. I'm so glad you were able to get your photos back! Erica's blessing was such a fun time and I'm so glad we could be part of it. We are so glad your entire family is AWESOME and always willing to welcome us, feed us and be our friends. It's fun to see Erica grow in every picture and can't wait to see how much she has changed next week.
Merry Christmas!

That last picture of Erica is to die for and the boys on halloween too. I just realized I hadn't seen any halloween pictures of them yet so I'll have to steal those.
