Catching up...

I've been away from the blog for a whole week! Sorry to all of Eliana's loyal fans, I'll try to make up for it today.

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving:

She had a great time with her cousins this day. She kept backing up to the boys and
leaning back on them or sitting on them... lucky for her the love her!

Our 4 nephews

After we ate at Matt's Mom's (12:00) we went to my family's dinner at around 4. At first Eliana played shy, hiding in Grandma's legs. That lasted for about 30 seconds. She spent the rest of the day running everywhere, chasing her other small cousins, being carried and chased by the teenaged cousins. She had a super-fun day!

Friday Tia came to visit for a bit before she had to leave town. Eliana was thrilled.
Ok, just kidding, we were really glad to see her. But, could this pic of Eliana be any more pathetic? Actually it could, I have 6 other equally sad/lethargic/melting pictures to prove it.

mmmmm... nap time

This is one of Eliana's beaus, Diego. Isn't he cute!? He was baptized this weekend and this pic was taken at the reception. I wish I would have gotten a good picture of him in his christening outfit..... a baby in a white bow-tie is both ridiculous and adorable!

I tried to get a good pic of Eliana playing at the party, but they all either look like this, or are a blur as she and some other little ones stagger by.

So, that's it. We've been partying for days, no time to blog.

Today I am grateful for comfy fleece pants. That's what Eliana wore all day today because she has a cold. I figured they'd make me feel better if I was sick, surely they'll work on a baby, right?
