Our Week

Well, its taken me till now, being Wednesday to catch up and finally be able to blog again. We had a whirlwind of a week last week. We had somewhat of a Winterton family reunion, and our house was the host. We figured its been since Eric and Carrie got married that we've all been together- 5 years. All the family arrived last Monday-ish and stayed a whole week. Before everyone arrived my mom was afraid that I was going to lose it and couldn't handle a big crowd considering I just had a baby 3 weeks ago (at the time). But really, I was fine and I was happy to have my family stay with us, and would even do it again. :) The only downer was when everyone started getting sick, and then I got sick, thats when I started to stress a little bit because I didn't want to pass it to Emmett. But Emmett made it through unscathed and is still his healthy little self, so its all good. We spent a lot of time just hanging out, watching movies, eating, doing crafts, chasing little kids around, having Thanksgiving with my mom's extended family, getting professional family photos done (its been since I was in about 8th grade), and topping it off with Emmetts blessing. I really wanted to do Black Friday shopping this year cause its been SO long since I've done it, and I finally had my mom with me, who is basically a professional shopper, but thats the morning I woke up feeling that awful burning in my throat and could no longer breathe out of my nose. So I had to forfeit. Anyways, here's the pics!

Thanksgiving Dinner:

We had Thanksgiving dinner with my mom's family. There were at least 50+ people there.

Sam, Kacey, Eric

Unfortunately my dinner got interrupted 1/2 way through by a baby who was a little more hungry than me. And when I got back to my place, my plate of food was gone! I did get plenty of pie though.

Wearing his '1st Thanksgiving' bib, not a single drop of food on it!

Winterton Grandkids: Isaac, Lillie, Ella, Emmett (minus Daniel, how did I miss taking a picture of that kid?)

Emmetts Blessing:

What a stud

Mike's mom made his outfit, it was originally worn by Mike when he was a baby, she just had to make a new button-up shirt for Emmett. It BARELY fit Emmett so it was a good thing we blessed him that week. (Turns out Emmett was a good 3+ lbs bigger than Mike was.) He looked adorable! Thanks Grandma G!
