Thanksgiving thoughts from the kids:
Josh: "I love Thanksgiving, and I'm happy that we went to Battle Creek."
Hannah: "Every Thanksgiving be thankful. I am thankful for my family and Thanksgiving and Christmas."
Ryan: "I like turkey and sweet potatoes and my new cozy blanket to sleepover in my new room."
We went to Michigan to celebrate Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's. The kids always love to play with their cousins each visit. Ryan sought out Evan as soon as he arrived and the two barely separated the whole day. I think Hannah enjoyed being an older cousin to Olivia too. All the cousins played so nice together and all enjoyed each other it seemed. Mom had all kinds of foam crafts for them all to do and it kept them happy and busy! We now have foam gingerbread ornaments coming out of our ears! It was great visiting with everybody and getting to catch up.
We were all talking about how different each year becomes as the kids keep getting older. Pat and I actually get to talk to family as opposed to feeding babies and changing diapers, and the trip there is so much easier since we don't have to leave as soon as we're done giving bottles, or hope that nobody has a "potty accident" on the way either! Hannah even wore a dress that mom had saved of mine from when I was little-awwww...
Mom made a delicious meal as always, and accidentally tried her first organic turkey, which turned out to be DELICIOUS!! Great job, Mom! Here are some pics of our visit...enjoy!
