First Thanksgiving

Ellie had a great first Thanksgiving, full of lots of family and friends. We are still being cautious about exposing her to too many people, but that is hard- especially now that it's the holiday season. We went to my parent's house on Thanksgiving day and Ellie met her 3 uncles (my brothers) on my side of the family for the first time. Krissy, my sister, is her only aunt :) Dan (my youngest brother) was SO EXCITED to see Ellie and kept waving to her, which I thought was so funny for some reason. He was anxious to get the green light to hold her, knowing he needed to wash his hands first. Dan did great with Ellie and loved watching her.

My Aunt Kelly, Uncle Tim and their girls Keelin and Teagan came over; as well as my Uncle Chuck and his sons, Zac and Justin. We had a great day of hanging out and eating, of course! Family board games and football later in the day. Esteban had to work early Friday morning so Ellie and I slept over my parent's so we could hang out with everyone the next day. We had a great day and it was nice to have my mom's help with Ellie during the day. Esteban came over when he got off work and hung out for a while...then the whole family- minus Ellie and I- went to the NG football game (sadly, they lost). Ellie and I spent the night again and Daddy went home to get a good nights sleep before another long day at work. The Scott Family came over my parent's on Saturday afternoon and hung out for a bit- Jenna and Caleb got to meet Ellie. Esteban came over after work and we watched football and all spent the night that night. My parent's only live 25 or so minutes away, but it was nice to stay a long weekend over there. It is so fun watching my family with her, especially my mom. She has been so helpful and I am very thankful for that!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend...I need to get some from my mom and aunt's cameras as well!
