Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving the whole Kallgren clan came to Indiana. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Mom and Dad's with 33 family members. That is a lot of people in one house!:) It was a great day full of tons of delicious food and a competitive game of whiffle ball. On Friday everyone came back to our house for pizza and games. As always our time together was short but it was so nice to see everyone!
My three favorite guys...soon there will be four:)

The guys all got RC Helicopters from a Hobby Shop so they spent most of the night enjoying their new toys.

Baby Shower with the Aunts

On the Friday after Thanksgiving all of the Kallgren Aunts, Cousins and Mormor were here so Tricia hosted a wonderful Baby Shower for me. It was so much fun, we had a great time just hanging out with all the girls. Here are some photos from our afternoon together.
Outfits from Mom and Joy...is it a problem when your Mom's dog gives you gifts?!?:) 
Moose sleeper from Aunt Jen...a very appropriate gift from Minnesota
A very special gift from Mormor...a bat made at the Tatem Mill. Definitely made me cry but it will be perfect in Landon Tatem's room.
Diaper bag full of goodies from Aunt De, Taylor and Alex
Baby swing from Auntie Beth and Elyse

Maternity Pictures

I wasn't sure that I wanted to take any maternity pictures but then decided that we should document this time in our lives and my growing belly. Our friends gave us Ronda Harter's name and we are thrilled that she was able to take some pictures for us. Here are a few from our session...we should have more to come later.

Baby Shower

Thanks to Mom, Tricia and Krystal with help from Ashley and Bev I had a beautiful Baby Shower on November 6th. We had it in the basement of the house and the girls did a great job decorating and setting everything up. Thanks to everyone who came for the shower, we had a great turn out and it was so nice to see all my friends and family that we don't get to see very often. Here are pictures of the day with all the decorations, guests and gifts.
