Thankful

We have much to be thankful for this year. It's always nice to have one day set aside to give thanks (although it should be something we daily) because life keeps us all moving at a fast pace and we loose sight of what's really important. This year we spent Thanksgiving in Kansas visiting with family and friends.

On Friday we drove to Lawrence to visit with Uncle Tommy, Aunt Danielle and Vinny. They were in town celebrating the holiday weekend with Aunt Danielle's family. It was nice to spend some time with them. Vinny has gotten so big since we saw him more than 2 months ago. He's adorable and a smiler! 

After lunch - Gabriella, Daddy, Vinny, Aunt Danielle and Adriana.

Shopping! Adriana, Mommy, Gabby, Vinny and Uncle Tommy stop for a quick pic.

Cousins!

What a smile! Love him!

Later in the afternoon, we returned to Manhattan and Nana had the girls help her cover pine cone with peanut butter and bird seed. They had a lot of fun!

Saturday morning, we met the Tadtmans at a new place in town called Varsity Donuts. It was a real treat because they have the most unique donuts (Oreo, Fruit Loops, S'mores, etc.) Very tasty!

Fruit Loops!

The newest Tadtman - Claire Patricia. She's a doll and slept the entire time. Precious!

It's like their first date! (Fast forward about 12-15 years from now.)

Before we left on Saturday, the girls made "hamburger" cookies with Aunt Megan. What a fun mess!

It's was a good weekend! We of course missed spending time with Nonna & G-Pa, but we look forward to our visit to Florida next month for Christmas!  We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have remembered to count your blessings!
