Wow, we had an incredible weekend for Thanksgiving as a family. On Thursday, we headed out to the farm for the Stang's Thanksgiving. Father Mark said Mass for the family, which was very special...lots of tears shed! On Friday, Mom and Dad came up to watch the kids so Jake and I could stay at his aunt's 40th b-day party! Our ring bearer Drew surprised us and drove up to St. Cloud with Mom and Dad. Andray loved hanging out with Drew! Saturday, the four of us decorated the house for Christmas! Roz loved tugging on the little tree (Heather's and mine from the college days) and Andray loved looking at the lights and ornaments on the big tree! So much fun to see the kids' joy around the Holidays. Sunday we wrapped up the weekend at the Rausch Thanksgiving...always a joy to see family members. Enjoy the update, our camera was busy this weekend! Love, the Stang's
This was Andray on his first Thanksgiving just one year ago! Hard to believe he and Roz could wear the same outfit, just one year apart!
Andray loves playing with Roslyn. Hard to believe just a year ago Andray wore this very same "Baby's 1st Thanksgiving" outfit and we found out we were pregnant with Roz too last year on Thanksgiving weekend! What a difference a year makes!
Andray just had to play with the pumpkins on Thanksgiving Day morning.
Four generations of Stangs. VERY SPECIAL photo out on the farm. We will cherish this photo forever.
Roslyn was able to spend some quality time on Father Mark's lap. Mark has his last round of treatments at Rochester tomorrow. We pray every night that his cancer goes back into remission.
Roslyn checking out her Great Gpa Stang!
Roslyn LOVES her Godmom Rhonda soooooooooo much and got to spend a lot of time with her this weekend.
Mark had fun holding Roslyn and making shadows for Roslyn to look at.
Andray had fun in Papa Steve's tractor with Jake! He even learned how to beep the horn!
Mya and Andray were very good during Mass.
Andray loves his Godmom!
Roslyn and her baby cousin Neely...so precious! They are going to be the best of friends!
Friday night Roslyn got all dressed up for her great aunt's 40th b-day party in St. Nick. Thanks to her big cousin Mya for loaning her pretty red shoes to Roz...they fit perfect! Thanks also to big cousin Isabel for handing down this adorable outfit!
Friday afternoon the kids had a blast playing cards with Papa Larry and Grandma Carol!
Mom and Dad sure do love taking care of their grandkids! It's pretty awesome!
Drew taught Dray how to use his "DS"...amazing how quickly kids learn technology. Drew was so well behaved this weekend, it was such a joy having him visit!
Thanksgiving Holiday over...bring on CHRISTMAS! I still have a hard time realizing Andray wore all those Christmas sleepers just one year ago.
Heather and I share our little Christmas tree from college each year. This year is was our turn to take photos by the tree and then I'll mail it to Florida for Heath and Adam to enjoy for the Holiday. Both kids loved the tree, maybe because it was more "their size!"
We even found time to take a walk outside on Saturday, it was beautiful out! Thanks Isa for the snow suit!
Roz is the same size as the tree...too cute.
We set the timer on the camera to take a family photo by our little tree. We couldn't figure out how to keep the camera focused...oh well, you can tell it's us in the photo!
Roz enjoyed playing in her exersaucer while we decorated! She's so pretty!
Andray loved the tree too! He's just getting so BIG!
On Sunday we headed over to the Rausch Thanksgiving. It was great to see Gma Rausch again...love her dearly! Roslyn was so relaxed sitting by Gma Sandy! So great that Roz got to see every Grandma this past weekend except Gram Lingl.
Jake has been busy teaching Andray about the nativity scene and the angels on the tree.
Andray even got to hang one of his ornaments on the tree...he was pretty excited!
Our beautiful baby boy...this is going to be such an amazing Christmas Season!

Isa had the funniest birthday cap...it had three candles on the top of it! So funny! She also picked out some amazing carrot cake for her birthday, it was great!
