Weekend Fun - Part 1

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the Bambino!!

We hosted 14 people, in addition to the 3 of us, at our home for Thanksgiving this year. My dad, 2 grandparents, 2 brothers, 2 sisters-in-law, 4 nephews and 3 nieces.

It was chaotic, but full of fun and yumminess!

A few of the guys + Amelia watching football:


Auntie Mer giving Amelia a post-nap hairdo:


Too much squirming... gotta restrain this girl for her hair appointment!


Marching around - showing off Meredith's work:


Amelia didn't really get a lot of the Thanksgiving dinner. She took an early nap and woke up about 2 hours before the big meal. She stayed busy, snacking on cheese, carrots and dip. So she wasn't all that hungry when the meal came!

We got a little tree to put ornaments on to memorialize my mom - that my dad can plant after the holidays. It still needs work, but here it is so far:


Amelia and Monica cozy together watching Dora:


A "diaper incident" made for a change from her leggings to these cute leg warmers:


Everyone got their fill of turkey, ham, and the fixings. The kids played together and the adults socialized. Everyone pitched in for the cooking and cleaning. It was a really nice day.

But after everyone left.... Amelia was SO tired that she just zoned out in her bean bag and watched tv:
