Thanksgiving Week!

We're headed home to Atlanta today! Yay for Thanksgiving and for family! This Thanksgiving marks a lot of firsts for our family.

This is the first Thanksgiving Miguel and I will spend together as a married couple! This is also the first time Emma will meet my sister and brother-in-law! And it's also the first Thanksgiving without my grandfather, Papa. =(

Last Thanksgiving my parents, Miguel and I went to have Thanksgiving day meal at the hospice Papa was in. I really cherish those memories now.

Miguel and I are lucky that both our families live in Atlanta. It makes choosing where to go for the holidays easy! The hard part is trying to find room in our stomachs for two HUGE and delicious meals in one day!

Thanksgiving at the Amadors is great! I really enjoy being part of a large family now! There are always loads of people around and the Amador's good family friends, the Kloers, come too! They are basically family anyways.

I love Thanksgiving at my parents! We usually eat in the early afternoon to accommodate my gramma. I love how my mom decorates the dining room table so beautifully every year.

Dogs wanting scraps... BAD for them! Look how chubby Bailey was before she went on her diet!

Least favorite part of big holiday meals.

This year I am so excited to see my sister, Sarah, and brother-in-law, Jared! I haven't seen Sarah since August and Jared since July! 

My beautiful sister, Sarah, and her YUMMY and pretty cake she made for Thanksgiving last year.  

As I was looking through old pictures to find Thanksgiving images, I ran across pictures of Miguel and his brothers from when they were younger! Feeling nostalgic for my childhood days here are some pictures of Miguel and his brothers...

We also got a new entertainment console this week! Thanks to the Amadors! It was a birthday present for Miguel.

And here is a picture of Emma... since this blog is supposed to be about her. Notice though in the picture above there is a tennis ball on the table... that is because Emma ate it's twin. Literally. She threw up for two hours straight. 

Also, check out my new blog about how I've started baking to fill my days.
