For Thanksgiving my family came down to California. We also blessed Alexa the Sunday after Thanksgiving so that my family could be there. It was so much fun having them come and stay with us. The girls really enjoyed them. Makayla LOVED playing with the kids and going shopping with mommy, Grandma and Lala the day after Thanksgiving. It was fun shopping with all the girls. Alexa sure got spoiled. She was held almost the entire time they were here. The boys and Grandpa sure fell in love with her. This was the first time that Grandpa, Justin, Jared and Michael had seen Alexa. For Thanksgiving dinner we went over to Mark's parents house. Dinner was so delicious! Poor Grandpa McClellan wasn't feeling good and neither was James (Makayla's cousin) so they didn't come to dinner. So sad...missing out on Thanksgiving dinner! Here are some pics from the visit with the fam! We forgot our camera when we went over to Mark's parents house for dinner.
Uncle Jubby serenading the girls. Alexa would just stare at him while he played. She LOVED it!
Cuddle time in the morning with Grandpa (he's hiding under the blanket), Grandma, and Lala.
Nap time with Jubby.
Jubby got her to sleep again. Boy, he sure loves her. He didn't want to put her down.
Grandpa loved snuggling Alexa. He thought that she was the cutest, and sweetest little thing. He sure loves his granddaughters.
On Saturday we went up to Nana's house to visit. We had a lot of fun visiting with her, Auntie and Frank. This was also their first time seeing Alexa. Grandpa Bellitti surprised Makayla with a pink princess castle bank. She was so excited! He gave her a ton of change to put in it.

A bank!!!! Each time you put money in it, it makes a magical princess sound. So fun!
Kisses from Grandpa. He sure knew exactly what she would like. She asked him if she could keep it and take it home. :) Thanks Grandpa...she loves her bank!
Doesn't she look so beautiful in her blessing dress. What an angel!
Makayla holding Alexa. Makayla called Alexa's blessing dress a wedding dress. :)
My family and Mark's parents. Nikole and James came but went home after church. Ashlyn wasn't feeling well so we missed her, Ryan and Nikole and James.
Here is our little family of four on Alexa's blessing day.

Mark gave Alexa a beautiful blessing and it was so wonderful to have our families there with us. We feel so blessed and are so grateful for the Gospel and that familes are forever.
