My first Turkey Day....





I was hoping to show some picture from Emmalee's first Thanksgiving but they are all on Nana Phyllis's camera so we will share those later. It has been quite a week. As you saw Grandma
Rosemary and Grandpa Al came to visit from Louisiana. Bradley celebrated his 13th birthday and we had Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was wonderful. Dennis, Samantha, Madison and Hunter came and joined us for Turkey, Ham, 2 kinds of stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls and green bean casserole. Rosemary made a pumpkin pie, peacan pie and an apple pie. The meal was incredible, and the company was even better. It was a very nice day. The weather outside was perfect.... yes, it was in the 80's (very warm for November but it was nice). All the boys played with Brad's new deer hunting game...
On Black Friday I got up at 3:30a.m. because Emmalee was hungry and I fed her... I then got ready and went shopping... boy did I get some great deals... I hit Staples first and then WalMart, after that I went and fed Emmalee again and picked up Nana Phyllis for some more shopping... we went to Costco, Kohls, Best Buy and Radio shack okay a couple Best Buys and a couple Radio Shacks.... Grandma Rosemary took Josh and Brad shopping, Papa Jim and Rob went golfing and Grandpa Al watched football.
Friday night we went to see Rob's friend Chuck's son Jake and his friend Justin play in the State semi finals for football.... it was a great game and the boys played hard but unfortunatly they did not win. It was a hard loss as both of them are seniors. Papa Jim and Nana Babysat for Emmalee.
Saturday we didn't do much but take some pictures, as you can see Emmalee loves Tigger as much as her mommy does. She is getting so big... she is now 7 weeks old and growing like a weed. She loves to smile and coo. She also loves to sit in her swing and watch the birdies and listen to the music or sit in her bouncy chair and listen to the music while it vibrates.
It is now Monday and we just took Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Al to the airport... it was a sad morning, we did not want them to go. We love them very much.
I will write more later and include more Turkey day pictures! Love Jill and family

Hi Emmaboo!!! Boy are you getting more and more beautiful each time I see a picture of you. Yesterday Jenna and I took down her baby pictures and guess what!,,, Your Ome Jan was right you two sure do look alike!! You'll have to tell Nana and Mommy to take out some of Jenna's baby pictures and look for yourself. But other than that you are the spitting image of your Mom!! And I should know. Ha. Glad to hear that your Mommy got some good deals (even without letting me in on it). Looking forward to your Turkey Day pictures! Bye precious.
Love Auntie Jodie
