The next morning, we had a little photo shoot behind Gigi and Pops' house!!!
Beautiful.
Later that afternoon, we went to The Gardner's house, and I took 450 pictures of everyone!! :)
Barton Family Picture
Avaree LOVED feeding treats to the "baby horsie!" :)
The Gardner's property is just so beautiful!!
I loved taking pictures of D and J, and of D and J and Ave! :)
Avaree loves her Uncle D!
...and her Aunt J! (Darrin and Jamie's 3rd wedding anniversary was this week! Time has flown! This little girl was only 10 weeks old when they got married!!)
love.
Martha took a few family shots of us for me at their house! It is still hard to believe that there are four of us in this picture!!
I love my man. So proud of him!
I was one day shy of 18 weeks in this picture! The baby started moving this week, and B and I have both gotten to feel it! I am so happy. Since I stopped being sick around 15 weeks, I have had zero symptoms, so it is nice to finally feel it and know that everything is okay! :)
Of course Gimli received plenty of attention too! :)
I took lots of fun shots of Ave with Gigi and Pops! Love this one!
:)
One of my all time favorites.
She loves her Daddy!
And of course, I may or may not have taken several shots of my favorite girl!
love.
loved this little bridge!!!
Our girl.
Love this one.
And she loves her Mommy too! :)
Thanks so much to the Gardner family for letting us hang out for a couple of hours!!! I wish I could take all of my pictures there!!!
Later that night, we went to Tara and Damon's house for a surprise 29th birthday party for Aunt Suzie!!
Susan, Martha and Brock!
We also stopped by to visit with Brandon's great-grandmother (Avaree's great-great-grandmother), Mimi! :)
After visiting Mimi, we drove through campus and stopped at Darrin and Jamie's tailgate before the Missouri game! Then, we headed back to the Princess Castle! Our Princess only required two stops on the way back, and Daddy got back to watch the game from the 2nd quarter on!!
We had a full Thanksgiving, and we loved getting to see all of our family!!!
We have so much to be thankful for this year. Our hearts are full, and we are so grateful.
Thank you for keeping up with our little family!!! We are thankful for you!
