From Thanksgiving to Christmas

!Gavin, Chelsea, and Tyjah at the Hornbacher's for Thanksgiving. These kids are so much fun! Chelsea was a little shy at first, but she warmed up pretty quick. She's not used to having too many people, especially kids, around. *sigh*

This kitchen really helped Chelsea come out of her shell with all the strange people around. The kitchen set is the toy in nursery that she is willing to brave the other kids for also. We recently bought a kitchen set for here at home. We couldn't resist giving it to her early. She doesn't understand the significance of presents at Christmas yet anyway. Well she LOVES it! Definitely a worthy investment.

Jennifer holding the youngest member of the family, Gatlin (I think I spelled that right) He is three months old. What a cutie!

"Wii" all had a great time, and it was a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! It made me look forward to Christmas when we all get together again!

She saw the camera and started saying CHEESE! repeatedly, and smiling very cutely. Yes, that's cutely.

What is she munching on? Frozen PEAS! We don't even have to heat them up. Straight out of the freezer is just fine with her. She'd eat the whole bag if we let her. Frozen corn is another favorite snack. She gets it from her Daddy.

So after the previous two pictures I was walking away to put down the camera. Chelsea gets up and follows me saying, "Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!" I guess she wanted me to take another picture. I had to oblige. This adorable little grin is the result.

Here is the nice pile of blankets that Chelsea loves to have when getting ready for bed. She gets her "pink," which is her pacifier, we read scriptures, and then rock for a couple minutes, but she's gotta have ALL her blankets on top of her or she won't relax. It's kinda funny. Whatever makes her happy I guess. ;)

Dimples! Need I say more?

I thought it was a little risky letting Chelsea help decorate the tree, just because it was going to be a "no touch" tree once it is decorated. But we couldn't just leave her out! She did very well. All the no-shatter bulbs are at the bottom. Those are pretty cool, they actually bounce!

Love those Christmas bulbs! Daddy helps get the hooks on.

Cheese!
