Thanksgiving 2011

Amelia's 1st Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year at Mom & Dad's house! We go there every year, but it seems that Thanksgiving just gets better and better with each passing year!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and just happened to be my birthday this  year too!

I have SO MUCH to be thankful for this year! Especially for Amelia! She is here and healthy and happy! We love her so much, and she is such a blessing in our lives!

Here is Sophie, Amelia, and Ella!

Amelia was being a little crabby, and the girls dealt with her so well!

The love her so much and and she is so lucky to have them as her cousins! We cannot wait for our little boy cousin to come in March!

Dinner was SO GOOD Ella didn't make it through! She fell asleep at the table! So, I brought her to the couch and she snuggled up with the beautiful blanket that Sister Cox made for Amelia!

This was my contribution to Thanksgiving dessert! It is a Layered Pumpkin Pie Toffee Cheesecake. I found the recipe at Our Best Bites, one of my favorite cooking blogs! 

Boy was it TASTY!

Toffee cheesecake on the bottom, pumpkin pie on the top... whip cream and toffee bits!! mmmmmm....

 Andrew & Amelia didn't make it much past dessert! They were found having a nice little snuggle in Papa's oversized recliner! (don't worry... i didn't leave her with him!)

When we got home, we attempted a cute little family picture!

Our first Thanksgiving as a family!!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving & Birthday!

A BIG Thank You to Mom & Dad for the WONDERFUL dinner and day!!!

WE love you!
