The life and wanderings of Steven, Heather, Olivia & Abby: Happy Thanksgiving

I have to start off with saying...I'm grateful for this wonderful life. It's far from perfect at times, but I wouldn't want to trade it with another person for anything.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving as well! This year, we made our way up to Maryland to spend it with Steven's cousin, Adam, and his family. Another couple from church came as well as Adam's best friend from high school along with his family. So all in all, 8 adults, 2 kids ages 1 and older as well as 3 babies. It had it's loud moments, but it was so relaxed and they were so much fun. I'm truly grateful we had the chance to spend time with them. I also made my first veggie turkey. It was so easy to make! Trust me, if I can make this, YOU can make this.

Olivia enjoyed all of the new toys that Benson and Calvin had. One of which was a walker that she attempted to walk behind. I might have to break down and purchase one after seeing her many attempts to walk with it. She also enjoyed those jumbo lego blocks. Mostly as a toy to suck on, but still.

We have been staying busy lately too. Did I mention the movers come next week? Yikes! I have a lot of cleaning out left to do. Time to turn on the show "Hoarders" in the background while I clean. I find a lot of motivation in that show.

Anyhow, we had a baby shower for our friend Susie earlier this week. She's having a girl! So we did a baby shower in pink and green. In retrospect, I kinda of recreated Olivia's room of pink in green into a baby shower. So clearly, that is what I like.

The great part about setting it up in the community room- super easy to decorate and easy clean up. I'm bummed we wont meet the little angel when she comes because we will have already moved. But it was still fun to have all the ladies over and to play shower games.

Here are some other fun pictures of our growing girl.
