Let's Rewind to Turkey Day!

Thanksgiving 2009 was so much fun for the Moffitt family. We went to Lake Whitney for some good 'ol fashioned camping (well, sort of). Grams and Papa James were in their new motor home while both Michael and Tracy and Jer, Ter, & Eli had their own pop up campers. No tent camping for us!

The Waco bunch all came to the lake for Thanksgiving so our time was full of love, family, and fun. Eli spent quite a bit of time at the swings and giggled the whole time.

Eli slept in the bed with Mommy and Daddy. He is not a fan of sharing his sleeping space, so it was a challenge. However, with the king size bed, he found a little niche against the wall area and scooted far away from us.
When the weather was too cold to be outside for long, we played in Grams and Papa's motor home. We love that it is a great place for the kids to play when the weather doesn't cooperate.

Eli spent a lot of time playing with Uncle Jamie.

Eli really loves his uncle Jamie.....thanks for taking such good care of him!

There were times were we took Eli to the swings to relax him in our arms before nap time.

He really loved this snuggle time as much as we did.

Eli sported his A&M attire and sat in his chair during the holiday. Too bad the Aggies lost....

Eli took some of the best naps in the camper. Momma was able to watch a couple movies on her laptop while he napped! (Sometimes she napped with him)

Like I said, Eli spent a lot of time at the swings. Here he is with Papa James.

Smile! Eli and Momma smiling for the camera!

The Kraemer's/Moffitt's even played a little football over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Cousin Tatum and her momma, Amie, joined us at the swings a couple of times.

Eli snuggled with Cousin Laurie... she even had a secret to tell and didn't until closer to Christmas. I think she is telling Eli here, though....haha!

Congrats to Laurie and Aarron on expecting their first little bundle of joy in July! We are all so happy for you! Children are such a blessing. Eli has really brought so much love and joy to our lives. Becoming a mother is beyond what I can explain...it is so wonderful! Sending you guys so much love!!

And here is Eli snuggling with Uncle Michael on the swings. Eli "swung" his heart out!

Even Papa James joined in on the fun at the swings. Watching him swing was like watching a little kid. His face lit up and he had a smile from ear to ear.

I realize that it is now January and I am just now posting our Thanksgiving. But I couldn't tell you all of our other adventures without getting this one in there. Life has been wonderfully packed with adventures. We decided the baby name as soon as we left Lake Whitney.... while in the car. We celebrated Papa James' 65th bday. We prepared for the Christmas holiday. We celebrated the Christmas holiday and rung in the New Year at home with neighbors. We watched Eli change and grow so fast the month of December. It was definitely his month of blossoming and becoming a little man. Baby Aiden is doing great and still expecting no complications like I had with Eli. My belly finally pooched out mid-December which is when I had to turn to all maternity clothes. He is kicking and pushing...and somersaulting as much as he can in the belly. We ordered the bedding, furniture, and are preparing for transitioning the guest room. This Moffitt household is growing in so many ways. Each day our love grows. Just when we think that we couldn't get any closer as a family, we do.
