Thankful for Family

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday surrounded by family. We started out with Grammy and Grandpa Brown, and enjoyed a turkey feast along with Aunt Mel, Uncle Aaron and Cooper. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV (and the annual dog show!) and had fun relaxing and playing the day away. Cassidy and Gavin discovered how much fun it is to crawl around under the table when it's full of people (and a dog) - they were squealing with delight.



At Grandma and Grandpa Reder's house, we celebrated Thanksgiving #2! It was another wonderful meal, complete with 5 homemade pies to choose from for dessert. With 15 people, we figured we'd make a good dent in that (although there were actually plenty of leftovers!). The kids vanished into the basement with all the cousins and only seemed to reappear for an occasional snack or hug. It gave Erik and I a welcomed break from our parenting duties!

We have much to be thankful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving!
