giving thanks

This Thanksgiving was spent 432 miles away in New Jersey. Drew and I had the chance to spend 4 days with his family. It was so nice to see all of them, especially the newest members of our family! Alden & Mercer are now 14 months old. We just saw them in August and it's amazing how much they are changing.

We discovered that they both love wearing hats.

I think the high point of baby hilarity was when they tried on their new snowsuits and boots that Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson bought them for Christmas. For someone who is just learning to walk, Alden did a great job running in his snow boots. Between the hat, onesie, boots, and flopping PJs he looked like some kind of superhero zipping around. We're on the watch for superpowers.

Mercer was very proud of his new mittens!

Drew and I spent Thanksgiving Day with some of his extended family as well. It was wonderful to see many of his grandparents, aunts and uncles.

The holidays are fun, but between all of the cooking, visiting, and baby activities I need a vacation.
