Introducing my new nephew Kaleb Elliott Stevens

We got the greatest Thanksgiving Present this year.... a new nephew for Dave and I and cousin for Ella Kate and John.  Dave's sister Laura and brother-in-law Jason introduced Kaleb Elliott Stevens into the world on Thanksgiving Day.  He is just perfect!!!  I have always been very close to my cousins and treasure my friendships with them.  So excited for Ella Kate and John to have another cousin to play with.  Growing up I remember the best part about the holidays was a huge party with all of the cousins.  It is still one of my favorite traditions.

 A proud Papa!  Ella Kate adores Uncle Jason and talks about him all the time.

 Baby Kaleb is perfect.

 Ella Kate was thrilled to get to hold him.  She did a great job.

 Crazy Johnny Boy.  He is a handful these days.

 Ella Kate is so proud of her new cousin.

 Precious.

I love the expression on John's face.  It is like he is thinking, "Ok, ya'll have been talking about this new cousin for me to play with and he is just a wee bit small."
