And the record goes to......

....Jami!!

Lexa is getting a reputation. A reputation as a little bit of a diva. A diva who only wants her Mommy to hold her. This reputation is beginning to cause competition among family and friends alike. This has been going on for months so it came as no surprise when a family Thanksgiving gathering at Nana and Papa's turned into a 'who could hold Lexa the longest without making her cry' fest.

There was many a competitor vying for the title but alas there could be only one winner......

Nana



Keith



Darcy (who gave it a good shot and was actually winning for much of the day)



But in the end it was Jami who was able to keep the little miss smiling....even when Mommy was in clear sight!!



Congratulations Jami! You will receive a voucher for a free babysitting session!

Some other moments from the day.....

Jace and Lexa posing in their Thanksgiving shirts they made at Tricia's





And the back...



For those of you thinking that being thankful for soap is a tad odd. You are in denial. Jace gave a perfectly understandable explanation. "Mommy, you know I really like to take a bath". Ahh yes, you see it in a different light now right?

There are always olives on hand (pun intended because Mommy cracks herself up) at family gatherings on Daddy's side.



Uncle Chuck was still in town so he joined in the festivities much to Jace's delight





A family portrait. Or not.



Maybe a hair better....



Lexa, getting ready to nosh on her first Thanksgiving feast. Until she decided to nap .5 seconds before dinner was served.



Lexa the Explorer (no relation to Dora)



Lexa the Explorer has been a crazy woman today. The girl has no idea that she doesn't know how to walk. She is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING. That is all well and good but she can't get it through her head that she can't just turn around and let go! Her bum must be sore tonight!

More Thanksgiving fun to come!!
