Nicole at 12 weeks and Lindsay at 16 weeks

I love the holiday season. . . to me it begins with Thanksgiving!!

A few years ago, my family started doing the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  This way no matter what you plan to do for the holiday, you can still see your family and celebrate!  

And who doesn't love Thanksgiving food so much than to eat it all weekend long!!!

Unfortunately not many pictures were taken but Lindsay and i were lucky enough to get a few belly pictures in before Jay and I had to venture back to Long Island.  You can tell by what we look like in the pictures, we did not know that there would be a photo shoot.
