The Bader Family: Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since the last blog but we didn't have too much to report until the past week.... and oh what a fun week we had! Apologize now for all of the pics but we had Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Lindsey come up to visit for Thanksgiving and boy did Kaitlyn have a blast!

We took Grandma and Grandpa to the Ann Arbor Children's Museum to show them one of our favorite play spots....

To fight a bit of "cabin fever" we bundled up tight and took Aunt Lindsey to the park for some fun on the swings....

Trying out our Christmas gear for Grandpa...

Teaching Aunt Lindsey how to work the lawnmower....

To continue the tradition we fried turkeys for Thanksgiving with Grandpa's expertise. It was great dinner with Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Lindsey, Lindsey's friends from Lansing (Molly and Sam), our pals from Ann Arbor (Betsy, Dave and Avery) and one of Brad's friends from the ENT program (Kelly). So fun to have everyone over and remind us of how thankful we are all for all of our family and friends both near and far!

Kaitlyn and Avery had a BLAST chasing after each other and running up and down the hallway and "chatting" with each other. It was SO cute and the first time they really "played" together... we're excited for more playdates still to come!!!

On Saturday we darned the mall and got to visit Santa. I hadn't planned on seeing Santa myself but Kaitlyn wasn't too keen on sitting on his lap by herself :)

Kaitlyn's new favorite place in the mall - the carousel!

On Saturday afternoon we went out to the tree farm to pick our this year's Chirstmas tree and even got to see a bit of snow on the ground and a beautiful sunset.

After saying goodbye to everyone on Sunday afternoon we spent the rest of the snowy day getting ready for Christmas with the help of Santa's little elf....
