Turkey with all the trimmings

For Thanksgiving, we spent some time with my family in Idaho. Hallie was able to meet quite a few people that she had not met before. For some reason my blogger is being weird, so I will have to describe the pictures here.
1)This is Great-Grandma Daniels. She repeatedly told me how gorgeous Hallie is, which of course I love to hear because I am her mother. Everyone on my mom's side of the family thinks Hallie looks like Devin.
2)This is my brother Clark. He had not seen Hallie yet as he has been up at school at the University of Idaho.
3)My dad and Sharon. Though they were here when Hallie was born, they have not as of yet been pictured on the blog and they were upset, so here they are now.
4) Great Grandma Strobel. Hallie is great grandchild number 30 on my dad's side if I am counting right.
5) My step-brother Jack. He is 8 years old and apparently he has never been around babies much. He was quizzing my dad on the ride to Thanksgiving dinner all about Hallie and then when he got there, he was asking me all sorts of hilarious questions. He first asked, "what words does she know?" I told him I wasn't really sure, so he asked, "Well does she at least know 'hi'?" I said sure, she probably understands it. His response to that was, "Well doesn't she know how to say it?" He was really shocked that she might not know how to say anything. He then asked, "Well, does she walk?" to which I had to explain that Hallie is only 3 weeks old and she probably won't walk until she is a year old or so. I thought it was all pretty hilarious.







We enjoyed our Thanksgiving. It was great having so many volunteers to hold Hallie to keep her entertained. Now I am afraid she will be spoiled and I will be the only one around to hold her all the time. Oh, well. I love her very much and I can't get enough of her. She seems to be changing so fast, it is crazy. I can't blink or else I feel like I will miss something!

Well, just bring her into the office and there will be plenty of people to hold Hallie and keep her entertained! It was fun to meet her in person on Wednesday. Thanks for letting me hold her! Glad you had a great Thanksgiving.

She really is cute! I hope you will be around a little at Christmas time so I can see her. I'm glad to see a picture of Grandma up and about. She looks so excited to be holding Hallie. And I can't believe your parents are grandparents!!
