Holiday Get Together

For the last few years some friends have been getting together for a Thanksgiving/Holiday meal. This year Tammy & Tim (we missed you Tim) had their second child, Annie, Christine & Kurt had their first child, Sophie, and we, of course, have Malynn and Jack, but we didn't let that break the tradition.

Instead of a sit down meal, we set out a great spread buffet style.
We all hung out in the baby zone and ate in between...
...Daddy lap time (Mike in between bites of food)...
...looking at books (Ben had to check out the Curious George books!)...
...playing...
...showing off our Holiday wear...

...and lots of lovin's!

It warms my heart so to have friends who have such love and adoration for Malynn and Jack. And the sentiment is totally shared. It has been a delight watching Ben turn into the little man he is already. One of the best moments was watching him help teach his little sister how to use sign language to say "more." So cute! Annie was so precious with her new earrings and her new standing with "no hands" trick! And Sophie's big blue eyes are mesmerizing, and she's a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it -literally -she's on the move! We have been so lucky in our lives to find friends who are truly like extended family. Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon!
