Fun with 21.5

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving in Texas :)

Proud to see my cousin who just delivered
baby Berkley 5 days before!

The precious angel herself

Glad to see my twins again!!  We are 5 months apart and are use to seeing each other more often!  Ginna just had her baby on the left, and Gaylen will have a little girl, Paisley, in February.

While the girls play with the newborn,
most of the boys were MIA.... AKA in the cave!

Lots of hanging out time

love .... love my hubby

I am so sad I don't get to see these girls more often!

Funny faces with the sister, or maybe just mine

GG/Aunts/Girl Cousins

Fat and happy!

Always being entertained by Griffin (20 mths old)

Thanksgiving Day appearance -- how cute!

I wish I could take credit for all the dedication in the kitchen, but luckily, coming from Seattle, I just got to consume!!!

Early Christmas surprise from PP and GG

What a natural .... I need one of these soon!  pretty please!!

Jordan, Arrie, Gabe, and me ...
before all the hand holding began!!

Pa and Granny Gari with their favorite grandchild ....
 boy is Griffin lucky with these two who have so much love to give!

and of course me getting one last goodbye since I won't see him until March!
THRILLED for their next Seattle trip :)


Oh my goodness, what an amazing Thanskgiving, with so much to be thankful for.  Our Brooke tradition is to go around the room and share what we're especially thankful for this past year, and of course only a few dry eyes in the room.  I had to pass the first time and had to compose myself by the time it came back around to me.  Most importantly, we couldn't be more thankful for a growing family of healthy individuals.

LOVE!
