HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

We went to Niles, Michigan to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. The last time we were there, I was only 1 month old, so it was great to spend time with family that we have not seen in a while! We have many traditions in Michigan including dinner at Aunt Cindy and Uncle Tim's house, Black Friday shopping, and a family trip to the Christmas Tree Farm! We got to stay at Aunt Janis and Uncle Mike's house and I had a BLAST!!! They have 4 kitty kats and a bunch of fish that I LOVED playing with! Thanks to all of our family in Michigan for a wonderful time!
Here's Daddy, cutting down our tree!

We had to bundle up, it sure was COLD!
I love Aunt Abbie and Scotty!
Chase, Libby and me riding the horse and carriage to the tree fields! I has SO much fun playing with my big cousins!

Ready to hit the slopes!!!


A SPECIAL note from my Daddy and Mommy:
Although there are
MANY things we are thankful for this Thanksgiving, one of the things we are most thankful for is the amazing blessing that God has given us!

Our family of 3 will soon become a family of 4!
That's right, we are expecting!
We are due mid-June and are absolutely THRILLED! Cyrus is SOOOOOOO excited to be a big brother! He really wants a "baby sissy" or at least that's what he says whenever someone asks him if he wants a brother or sister. We are sure he wants a sister so he won't have to share any of his toys!
Becides feeling a litte nauseated while riding in the car, things are going great and the baby is growing right on track with a very healthy heartbeat.
We will find out the gender in about 6 weeks and will be sure to keep you posted on any changes.
We would greatly appreciate your prayers for a strong and healthy baby! :)
