We had the whole family together at our house for Thanksgiving this year!   My parents and the Peatrowsky family flew in from Minnesota and Brianna and Matthew drove over from Yakima.  It was wonderful having the entire family together!  It was the first time we have all been together in years. 

We celebrated Lauren and Nathans first birthday while everyone was here.  Here are some pictures from the birthday party.

I can't believe my daughter is one already

My mom and sister Brianna made a cookie monster cake!

I made a picture banner for each of the kiddos

 

Auntie B with the birthday girl!

Lauren is happy Auntie Katie is here to visit!

Getting ready for cake

Yum, that looks tasty

Yep, that's good!

The cake was a hit

Time to open gifts!

 

Lauren is our little adventurous girl.   She just dives into any situation head first.  I think she's got a lot of Daddy's personality in her. She is walking all over the place now. 

 

 

 

 

Lauren loves to play outside.  We've been enjoying the nice fall October weather.  I know the rain is coming soon, so we've been spending a lot of time outside lately.

 

 

 

We visited the pumpkin patch at Gordon Skagit Farms last weekend.  It was a beautiful evening.  

 

 

I'll take this pumpkin please!

 

 

 

 

It's hard to believe my little girl is 10 months old already.  She just started taking her first steps during these last two weeks.  Now she prefers to walk instead of crawl!  Her favorite toy is her truck.  She pushes it everywhere around the house.

 

 

Dad takes her to the archery range on the weekends.

 

 

And we went hiking with Auntie B and Uncle Matthew this summer.

 

 

Lauren never sits still.  She is always busy and on the go.  She likes to get into everything!
