Happy Thanksgiving!

We traveled down to Peggy & Tom's for turkey day this year. Chris had to work and with them moving and unpacking Veronica stayed home with Brooke and Hailey came along with us. The drive there went well, Hailey and Mirella both slept the entire way!! We got there early so we could hang out and relax with Peggy and Tom a little while. Uncle Mike, Jay, Cara & Sophia, and Mom arrived al ittle while after us.

We ate some YUMMY food and the babies were perfect angels during dinner time! It was good to see spend time with family and see little Sophia. Her and Mirella sound EXACTLY the same when they talk. It was so cute to see them interact with babbles. Poppa came for dessert after dropping Ann off at the airport, so that was a nice surprise! I was hoping he'd stop by for a little while. Mirella enjoyed hanging out with him for a little bit.

We drove home and Mirella is in this weird stage where she screams while driving in the dark. SO! Needless to say the drive home wasn't too fun. Luckily she didn't cry for too long and fell asleep.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, my mom and uncle Mike came up for a 2nd Thanksgiving dinner with Chris, Veronica, Hailey and Brookie. They wanted to come see thier new house so we figured might as well do turkey again since Chris and Veronica missed out! It was a fun day! And TONS of left overs!! YAY!!!

I had the week off work last week, it was sooo nice! But back to work this week. Tony came down with a cold Saturday and is starting to feel better today. Mirella has had a stuffy nose since Monday night, and I started getting a sore throat last night, and today I feel yucky and my sore throat is worse. Hopefully we all get back to normal soon!

Mirella seems to be teething, she's real fussy, chews on EVERYTHING, and drools all over. She messes with her ear once in a while and I've read that stuffy noses can also be a sign of teething. So I think we may see a tooth here in the next few weeks! I will be sure to get photos of it when it arrives!

She LOVES to sit and play in her exersaucer and throw pacifiers and toys on the floor over and over and over. She loves to jump in her jumperoo when cousin Hailey jumps with her. And she really loves to talk and make silly giggles all day long. She's a really happy baby! I've been very lucky!

She still tries to roll over but her arm gets stuck, but she's learning to pull it out now. I haven't fed her much on solids since she didn't really seem interested in it. I do give her some banana once in a while though, she reallllly loves that! I think I'll get more serious about solids after our cruise to Mexico. We'll work on some veggies.

I guess that is all for now! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
