Claire's 1st Thanksgiving

Aunt Anna...who's going to be the favorite Aunt?

Games all week long!



Thanksgiving day was quite busy. Claire was baptized in the morning, the Packers played against the Detroit Lions, and then we all ate a feast fit for Kings and Queens. Claire spent the majority of the day sleeping.

Claire's Baptism

Below are some pictures of Claire's baptism. She was baptized by Papa Kasper on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2011. Jake's brother Gabe and sister-in-law Melissa were Godparents. The baptism dress was made by Grammy.

Nana's Visit

Nana came a week after Grammi and just before the Thanksgiving festivities. She was extremely helpful and we appreciated her time, patience and babysitting so Mommy and Daddy could go on a date!

Nana naptime...not sure who was more tired

Grammi's Visit

Grammi B came to visit for a week and half. She was a great help for mommy and daddy, we don't know how we could have survived without her. Grammi babysat for a night so Daddy and Mommy could get some quality time together. She also watched Claire when her parents were running errands. Needless to say, Claire enjoyed her visit as well!


Grammi spent numerous hours with Claire in the rocking chair.

Here's looking at you, babe.

3 generations of beautiful, intelligent women!

Random fun pictures

Sometimes photos don't fit in a 'category'.




Nap time!


As we all know, babies like to sleep and quite frankly nap photos can be boring. But we think Claire's napping is precious! Enjoy.
