We started our day at our daughter, Jamie’s for a delicious Thanksgiving brunch and playtime with the kids.
Thanksgiving Brunch
Jamie made pancakes, french toast, eggs, hash-brown potatoes, Monkey bread, sausage, bacon and a pretty punch.
After dishes were washed it was bath time for Cambrie.
In these photos, I thought I noticed a resemblance to my baby pic (in top left photo) at least in the eyes.
Off to Thanksgiving dinner
Since both Jill and Jamie were planning to have Thanksgiving dinner with their in-laws and Erin wasn’t able to be here, I thought our dinner would be just John, me and Abbey. My sister said no way and invited us to join her family. I was thrilled to spend time with her and see her four, adorable granddaughters as well as the others that were there.
It was a wonderful day of feasting, laughing and spending time together.

It was a long, wonderful day!
It started early and ended late.
Lots to do tomorrow, but it won’t begin first thing.
John informed me that we are sleeping in!
Just a little something from Judy says
What a beautiful family you have, and I love that your sister invited you over on Thanksgiving Day. What a joy it is to make room for a few more at a family gathering. I always enjoy your pictures. You are right, those baby pictures resemble each other, especially with the pretty big eyes.
Debbie says
Such lovely photos of your Thanksgiving! Your blog is so beautiful. And I love how you decided to sleep in. That's exactly what my hubby and I did too. 🙂
Blessings and love,
Debbie

I do think there is definitely a resemblance! Funny, I did the same thing last night–pulled out some pics of our son at 5 months since yesterday his son at 5 months reminded us so much of each other!
Sounds like you had a busy, but wonderful day!
ArtyMarti says
What a nice day you had! There is more than a resemblance to you and the baby–twins. Now just a day or so to recover and then get back into the routine.

OHMYGOSH! That baby could pass for YOU! Let's hope she grows up to be as beautiful as you are! What a lovely family you have! xo Diana
