Weekend at Grandma's

Last weekend we went to El Paso to attend the Baptism of our Godson's new little sister. We (ok, I) forgot to get pictures at the Baptism and reception, but we had a great time.

Since we were going down to Illinois, we also took the opportunity to get Christmas pictures done, as well as visit with friends and family.

On Saturday, cousins Connor and Lucas came, and the cousins enjoyed one of their favorite pastimes: running in the hallway.

And now Lucas is big enough to get in on the action.

In the early afternoon, Andrew and Laura's good friends from Chatham, Noah and Makenna arrived.

And they brought their new little brother Aidan.

The seven kids had great fun playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house while Noah and Makenna's mom took Bridget's baby pictures.

To see how cute the pictures of Bridget were, you can visit Michelle's blog: http://michelleyeager.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/12/bridget.html

The cousins got in every last second of playing they could.

And a few more cute pictures from the weekend:

Thanksgiving and a few recent baby pics

We had our first Thanksgiving at home this year. Uncle Richard joined us for Thanksgiving week, and all of the kids had a lot of fun with him. We never got a picture of him with Bridget which is surprising since he spent a lot of time holding her. She really enjoyed going to sleep on Uncle Richard's shoulder.

We did get a few pictures of Andrew and Laura enjoying their Thanksgiving feast. Andrew claims he's not a fan of pumpkin pie, but the pictures tell a different story:

And next are a few pictures of our growing baby. Bridget is doing all those exciting baby things. (ok, they're at least really exciting to mommy and daddy) She's holding her head up, smiling, and cooing. We don't have a good picture of her smiling, but hopefully we'll get one soon.
