November

I'm a wee bit behind on my blogging, so I'm going to wrap up the month of November in one giant post.  So if you don't care, then don't read it!  Lol!

We've been giving tons of kisses to this sweet girl, and she's learning to smile!

 Grandma and Grandpa Marchant came out to meet Miss McKinley. I love this picture of Grandpa Marchant's big hands next to McKinley tiny ones.

 We blessed McKinley Rose on November 18th, surrounded by family and friends. Kevin gave a beautiful blessing!  A man in our ward recorded it on his IPad for us so Kevin listened to it back and typed it all out.  What a precious thing to have and share with her when she's bigger.

 McKinley wore a beautiful heirloom dress that my Grandma Hicken crocheted for me when I was a baby.  I  was blessed in it, Kassidy was blessed in it, and now McKinley.  I hope to pass it on to my girls one day too.  She also wore a pair of booties made by my mom and wrapped in a blanket made by Grandma Marchant.  She was definitely covered in crocheted love from ALL her Grammy's!

 We had a family luncheon after church and my aunt Jennette was so kind to open her home for the event.  It was nice because our little apartment would never fit all those people!

 Our best friends the Tabish's came too.  We love them like family!

 Thanksgiving was spent in Arbuckle at my step-mom's brother's house (confused yet? Me too). My dad and family all came out and we enjoyed good food and beautiful weather.

November was good to us and December is already starting out great!
