Thanksgiving in Cali

Everyone LOVES Mazie!
The cousins!

Maddie was fascinated with the stone "babies"

I know I have been the world's worst blogger. Life has been a little crazy the last few months. Not a good excuse though. But I managed to take some pics on our trip to northern california.
We went to visit Joe's side of the family (mom, sisters, cousins, uncles and grandpa) Madelyn Sue is not a very good traveler. She was okay on the actual drive (she did have her moments) But boy oh boy does that little girl sleep like crap at someone else's house. I don't plan any vacations anytime soon! Mom and dad were totally exhausted. But all in all we had a good trip. Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic. The William Sonoma deep fried turkey was the hit of the party. We got to meet Madelyn's newest cousin baby Nathan. He is 3 weeks old and the cutest little guy. Maddie got to spend time with her two other cousins Ava and Alex. There was quite a bit of fighting the first couple days but then they adjusted well. Miss Madelyn is quite the bully. She spent a lot of time in time-out. Which she didn't mind at all! Can we say Joe's daughter?

Anyways, we are gearing up for Christmas. The first one at home in 2 years! My mom and 3 out of my 4 siblings are coming as well. It's going to be a blast. Time to get the tree and all the lights up. :)
