Paradise

While in California we decided to snap a few family pictures. We went up to Paradise for the afternoon and it was lovely. Paradise is so dreamy. It made for the perfect back drop to our quick little family photo shoot. We had so much fun and enjoyed being back in Paradise. 

Thanksgiving

We went to Chico, California for Thanksgiving this year with Tyler's family to visit Grandma Inez and the Fredrickson cousins.  We had such a good time catching up with everyone, seeing good movies, shopping, exercising together, and enjoying the hotel life.  The weather was so nice, too. It was so warm there- no jackets needed.  It was another wonderful Thanksgiving!

Gamers

Sometimes when Tyler is gaming, all Jade wants to do is hang out with dad and play too. She thinks it's so cool when she gets to hold her own controller.

Daddy makes Doctors visits so much better. This was the first visit Jade cried while the doctor was examining her. She usually is all smiles, but this time she was scared of his doctor tools. Jade cried pretty good after her shots, too. Once Tyler took her outside she calmed right down. I was suprised Jade gained less than half an ounce since her last visit. I was really hoping she would have gained at least a pound. I guess she is just going to be a tiny thing.
