We just spent Thanksgiving in Dallas with Amy's clan. Steph and I are truly grateful to have such a wonderful sibling family to share our first holiday with the most wonderful addition to our family, Oliver.
He loved spending time with his cousins, and they adored him. Lily in particular was fascinated with Oliver, I think because she's obsessed with babies! We loved that the cousins got to spend time with each other. Its a surreal experience not only to have a child, but also to keep encountering these new experiences, like having a new child play with his twin sister's kids! Crazy.

Thank you so much Blake and Amy for a wonderful time. It was nice to be able to have near-constant child/baby-talk. We needed it. Oliver is wonderful, but sometimes it gets hard and we need to hear stories of similar parent trials & tribulations. And you guys are good source for those. :).
Amy, you're a wonderful mother and are raising beautiful children, good job and thank you! Blake, you are a blast to hang out with, if not a bit dangerous with all the coffee and booze that ensues! Thanks for my sports fix.
Also - and this is Stephanie talking - thank you Amy for braving your first turkey. And not just a small turkey, that one, we'll both have leftovers for over a week... :)
In France we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, and I am so grateful to have a holiday to remind us that there are so many things to be grateful for. It probably has had a great impact on me since I moved to the US.
