Festivities with the hubby's fam

So as not to interfere with others' Thanksgiving plans, Seth's grandparents opted for a family dinner at their church in Rexburg the Saturday following the holiday. Smart move in many ways ... the church has a nursery with lots of toys, a gym to play in and a kitchen for serving food.

The girls had a crazy-fun time with their cousins, especially.

Ana was reunited with her long-lost teddy bear. Apparently she had managed to shove it under Aunt Cathy's chair while she was baby-sat there weeks ago.

The next night, we invited Seth's parents over for dinner and to watch us decorate our Christmas tree. After the trimming, we had a little photo shoot.

Then the girls got a little crazy.
