Gobble Gobble!

We had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving holiday this year and with so many things to be grateful for it's hard to name just a few. 

Obviously the most important one for us is family. With our new addition fast approaching it seems that family is the one thing I'm thinking most about these days. How much I love being a mom, how much I love my husband and kids, and what would I do without people like my mom, sisters, and brother who help me out on a daily basis. I have some of the most amazing people in my life. Being pregnant and a naturally emotional person I could cry on cue thinking about how much I love all of them.

That being said we're really excited about this holiday season and sharing it with the people we care most about! I don't have any pictures from the Swenson family feast but every year we get to have TWO Thanksgiving dinners. Chris' family has always had their dinner in the afternoon which works out great because my family eats ours in the evening. It's made it pretty convenient when trying to celebrate with both families and fun too because Cai and Gabe get to play with all of their cousins in one day! Here are some snapshots.
  Cai not wanting her picture taken.
 Gabe obviously thrilled to be having his picture taken lol.
 I CAN'T WAIT for Gabe and Cairi to meet Penelope because Cai absolutely adores her baby cousin Liam. She's going to make such a good mini-mommy.



My mom cooked for like two days to feed all of us and ensure plenty of leftovers. So glad I have her to prepare tasty meals for my family that I couldn't imagine preparing myself. I hope to someday inherit her natural abilities lol.

Ok Morg, you look fantastic! I cannot believe that Penelope will be here in just four short weeks (or less). Wow! How fun for you guys! Can't wait to meet her!

PS. I love how Gabe seems to like the camera and Cai hides, it is just like Jack and Reese! Must be the age. :)
