Cousins and Miles' 1st Thanksgiving!

My cousin, Gretchen (Meyer) Wildman, and her husband and boys stopped for a visit in Chicago on their way to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. She is pregnant with a baby girl, but she and Tony already have two sons named Dylan and Danny. It was a fun, kid-filled evening! Here we are trying to get a good picture of all the kids on the couch.



Isn't it obvious why we left Miles in his car seat for the picture? The couch was a dangerous place that night, my friends!

Moving on to Thanksgiving Day, Miles had a terrific first Thanksgiving! Uncle Seth and Aunt Carina's house hosted all of my family, as well as Seth's family. It was a large crowd and a lot of fun. (Per standard Thanksgiving Day procedure, people of all ages took naps throughout the day).



Miles' cousin Norah turned one on November 21st, so we had a special celebration for her as well.

This last photo shows Miles learning some tricks of the trade from cousin Jake. Oh, the things you can do once you graduate from the strapped-in recliner seat!
