Thanksgiving Point

Back in October Lynsey and Matt came to visit and we went with them and Natalie and Brian to the Thanksgiving Point petting zoo with all 8 kids. We were our own zoo but the  4 older boys had fun running around. I love when Cohen gets to play with his cousins and I'm so grateful to have family close by so that he can grow up with them and be best friends with all his cousins.

Cohen, Blake, Carson and Gavin

cute boys!

this is what you get when you try to break into that duck pond

Family Pictures

My good friend Leanne was kind enough to take a few pictures of our new family of 4 before we lost all the beautiful Autumn leaves. She did an amazing job, Cohen however was not so cooperative but she was able to capture a few of him looking pretty cute.

And here is Cohen letting us know that he IS NOT having a good time and would like to go home now! haha

Fall

With snow now on the ground I'm longing for the beautiful fall days we got to enjoy when we first moved here. I know Cohen misses playing outside everyday and I miss the sun and warmth. Good thing we get to go to AZ in one week for a 72 degree Christmas!

Addison's Blessing

Over Thanksgiving we were able to go to Arizona and bless Addison in my parents home. I love being able to do baby blessings at home and have all of your close family there in such a personal and loving place. Betty made the most gorgeous dress for Addison and Paul's blessing was really special. We were so glad to have many of our siblings there along with parents and grandparents.
