First Thanksgiving!


When Tessa was born I was nervous about taking her out and about for Thanksgiving. But, over her first few weeks of life I realized that everyone she was going to see that day had already met her and that she would be just fine to be held and visited with after all. She did a really good job with the traveling and being held by lots of family. She missed her napping time but that was o.k. she made up for it that evening. We dressed her up and she looked more cute than I thought possible, I just wanted to "gobble" her up! :)




Janelle and I did some Christmas shopping the day before Thanksgiving. Tessa was feeling festive in her outfit. She slept the whole time in her carseat, she is already a shopper like her Momma!

The first stop was at my Mom and Dad's. We had a wonderful meal and as you can see Tessa was the center of attention!

Meeting her Great Uncle Jerry for the first time. Great Aunt Kathy is Tessa's self-proclaimed biggest fan and second Grandma! :) My cousin Daniel and his new girlfriend Heather.My cousin Courtney who did all the wonderful ultrasounds of Tessa. She was pretty darn accurate with all her estimations!!
Our second stop was at Dan's parents' house where we had second helpings. Grammy and David had to fight over Tessa. The others had been sick earlier in the week so they kept their distance.

Her first Thanksgiving! She looked so beautiful & you and Dan look fantastic too. I miss you at work, it's just not the same. But I really enjoy getting on here and keeping up with you and Tessa. Thank you so much for the comment about my g-ma, things are so hard right now but day by day it is getting a little better. I am 24 weeks today & the belly is growing, it's crazy! Brooke posted my baby shower information. She is having it Sat. Jan. 24th at 6pm at Loon Lake Lodge, I sure hope you can make it and bring baby Tessa if you want :) I am going to see if Emily might want to make a trip up with me to your house so I can see you, I miss you and I thought it would be fun to see Tessa in person! I hope everything is going great with you guys, let me know if you need anything :)
