For the last couple of years, my immediate family has gathered together for Thanksgiving, at my sister, Rachael's, ward building. My tiny apartment, & Rachael's house are both, just too small for Thanksgiving dinner. Rachael's ward building works out really nice for our family.
Kennedy, Jordi, & Domanik have fun running around while we're setting up & cleaning up (dont worry.. all of Thanksgiving dinner, & running around, happens in the gym ;).
This year, with Amelie still so tiny, we decided it would be best to keep her away from any large crowd of people, to keep her healthy. Especially with so many strange illnesses going around.. Therefore, Kodi went to his family's Thanksgiving get together, (quite the crowd ;) solo, & I had a small thanksgiving celebration, with my siblings & parents....
This was the first time my brother, Marshall, had seen Amelie. Just after Amelie was born, he had a cold, & was kind enough to not share it with us =)
Thanksgiving day, was a good day for Amelie to meet her Uncle Marshall (healthy again =)
Amelie & Uncle Marshall (Sigh.. love this pic)
Kennedy played pretend, with play kitchen food & accessories, by herself, til Jordi & Domanik arrived
She has such an amazing imagination.
I'm absolutely in love with this precious princess, & all of her many stories & ways of make believing.
Amelie & Jenika (Marshall's wonderful Girlfriend. We love her =)
Kennedy was trying to get Zaven to laugh, & play with her
Domanik & Jordin were very excited to see Amelie..
Jordi is so cute with babies. & is so gentle & careful with them. She's had lots of practice, with Kennedy as a baby; lots of other cousins as babies, her baby brother Zaven, & now, with little Amelie.
Domanik, is also really good with babies (he's still a boy though, & can only be so gentle for so long ;)

My Dad, Marshall Sr. (apparently this picture was a surprise?)
Jordi & Kennedy pretending together. I'm not sure which one is more bossy, when it comes to pretend play. So cute, to listen to them talk about how to play a certain way

CUTE!
Uncle Andrew & Uncle Marshall, playing with the kids
They were having so much fun being lifted by their uncles
Domanik must have had enough = /
seriously love these boys
Haha.. Rachael - naughty, naughty
(Just kidding.. she was finishing off the Sparkling apple cider, & I told her to chug it, for this 'wonderful' pic)
Happy Thanksgiving! - love, Amelie
She looks so short in most pics, cause she curls her legs up to her tummy
My cousin, Beth, & her fiance (unofficially, I believe) Carlos, stopped by my apartment, for a little visit, later in the afternoon, on Thanksgiving.
Carlos & Beth
(He was so scared to hold Amelie. Afraid she'd break or something. funny how a lot of guys are like that, before they have their own... I think I heard Beth say that Carlos wants 6 kids ;)
Beth, My mom - Carol, & Amelie
(& the corner of my dad's head. haha)
had to take a pic of Carlos taking a pic =)
(this is also, somehow, the only pic I got of Kodi - hiding in the background)
