Several of Jake's siblings and their families came into town for Thanksgiving! It was so fun to see everyone. We had such a good time. Here is Elisabeth and Jacob taking a bath. I got to spend a lot of time with Elisabeth this trip and let me just say that I absolutely LOVE her. Who couldn't be charmed by those big brown eyes and full cheeks?
We went into the city one morning to go up the Hancock Observatory and eat real Chicago deep dish pizza.
The Gillespies have a really fun tradition for Christmas where everyone wears matching pajamas to bed on Christmas Eve. This year we continued the tradition on Thanksgiving. The kids were so excited about their new jammies.
These are most of the Gillespie Grand-kids (minus 6) These cuties rang from the ages of 3 months to 8 years old.
I am so grateful for my family. I really missed my Ambs family this Thanksgiving and I hope to see them soon but I loved being with the Gillespies. Even though I'm still one of the newest editions to the family everyone has really taken me under their wing and I love each one of them. This week I especially loved snuggling and and playing with my nieces and nephews, going on walks, seeing vampire movies, watching BBC mini series and eating lots of treats with my sister-in-laws, and going to the Chicago Temple with Jake's brothers and their wives.
