Thanksgiving with the Malloys!

This year we got to spend Thanksgiving with the Malloys!  We had a great week in Michigan- we relaxed, played cards, did a little shopping, ran, helped put up Christmas lights, went to a movie, went to Red Robin, got highlights, watched Dancing with the Stars, ate good food, and Emmery enjoyed getting to know her second cousins, aunts and uncles, and great grandparents.

We met my parents at the Denver airport and all flew out together.  Emmery liked playing with Grandpa Jeff's hat!  She also enjoyed sleeping with him on the flight.

The first night we got there they had a surprise celebration for Jamison's 30th birthday :)

Aunt Jennie also came out and stayed at my grandparents' house with us.  Emmery loved playing with her great Aunt Jennie.

Happy little girl.  Every morning Emmery sat in the center of the dining room table and got lots of attention while everyone ate breakfast and did Sudoku's.

We went over to Aunt Stacie's one day for a special lunch, and Gavin and Brooke showed Emmery the Indian hats they made for Thanksgiving.

Emmery felt right at home at the Goddard School in Michigan, where my Aunt Shellie teaches.  The girls in her class loved Emmery.  And I enjoyed seeing Shellie's cute classroom!

Emmery loved Troy- she took a long nap curled up in his arms :)

A quiet moment with Grammy Debbie. My mom was a big help with taking care of Emmery.

Playing cards with Daddy.

Going for a walk with Grammy and Aunt Jennie.  We had beautiful Fall weather while we were there.

 Getting fed by her great Grandma Mardee, who she shares the same middle name with- Louise :)

Elyse read Emmery lots of books- she even followed the words with her fingers as she read out loud.

This is my favorite picture of the whole weekend- Emmery with her great Grandpa in front of his desk.

And another great picture that I will always treasure- 4 generations of women.

 We also made sure to do a little photoshoot of Emmery in her Thanksgiving outfit that my parents gave her.
She is loving pulling herself up.

The week flew by! We headed home early Saturday morning.

Emmery was a little fidgety on the flight home, but she enjoyed sitting on Jamison's lap and looking out the window.

And for her 34 week old picture, Emmery wore a cute outfit from Grandma Jean and Grandpa Tom.
