Catching up!

Hi All!
Once again, we have become delinquent with our blog posts. We have now finished October with Cecilia's first Halloween and all of November. December is on its way-so be sure to check it all out!

Love you!

Thomas Family Photo Shoot

We decided to take a "quick" photo shoot while everyone was in town. Gram and Gramps Thomas, Mamma and Papa, Aunt Amy and Uncle Jer with AJ and Adam, and Aunt Steph and Uncle Marty were all there. I was pretty tired after Mass, so we had a short shoot and then i went down for my nap.

Here's the pics!

The fireplace.

Our lovely stockings.

The whole clan!

Cecilia with Mamma and Papa.

Ok, time for a nap!

Cousin Adam with the tree. He is so happy.

The Stanislawski family- how cute!

Princess Birthday Party

The day after Cecilia's actual birthday, we had everyone over to Grammy and Grandpy's house for a party. It was a princess party, and guess who was the birthday princess? That's right, none other than Cecilia Rose! It was a lot of fun!

The birthday princess, Ms. Rose.

Papa worked hard to decorate the house.

Balloons!

Pink and purple everywhere!

The eating room.

Cecilia making the classic Hale point at the camera pose.

Her highness' royal cake. The frog didn't turn into a prince though.

Happy Birthday to me again!

Yay!

Even more yay!

Blow out the candle!

So um, now what?

What a big piece of cake!

Not sure how I feel about this one.

But its fun to play in!

Maybe if I just squish it a little.

Tastes good.

Squishes good.

Winner! I like this cake.

Now, can I get it on mom....

This is better than play dough.

Me with Cousin Torie! Thanks for the picture!

Mamma with her Godfather Uncle Tom- oh and me too!

Guess Who's 1 Year Old?

Well believe it or not folks, we have survived the first year with flying colors! It has been an adventure for Mamma, Papa, and Cecilia too, but we have managed to turn ourselves into a happy little family. This year, Cecilia was able to celebrate her birthday in Chicago. It was mighty cold, but mighty fun!

Happy Birthday dear Cecilia, Happy Birthday to you!

Blow out the candle!

Testing out the cake Mamma made for her.

Mmmm, sugar. More please!

I think I like this!

Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! This is my very first one, and boy, I like them!



Mamma and Papa spent all day yesterday cooking - and then today GG, Aunt Laura and Lou plus Aunt Amy & Uncle Jer came over to polish it all off. Whoa!



But I got to look cute-ums twice - in the Thanksgiving dress, and in the my turkey onsie. What can I say, I'm a show-stealer!

What a pretty dress from Grammy!

All dressed up with Papa!

Me and Auntie Steph. What is this face I am making?

Grammy and I match!

Lunch in Chicago

Grandma Rose has a cool table that Cecilia got to eat at. Today, she ate lunch with cousin AJ and Aunt Stephers.

Chillin' in Chicagoland

Grandma Rose likes to call her house "Grammy's Daycare." Here's why!



It was a lot of fun - they have all different toys - and I got to play with cousins too!

Smile everyone!

Adam- so cute!

Carly and the boys.

Grandpa looking at all the kiddos!

AJ and his trains. Need I say more?

"Ok, Ce-ya. This is how you do it. But don't touch my train, ok?"

After a bit, I had Grandpa feed me - yummy!

All they playing sure works up an appetite!
