Thanksgiving Celebration

So much to be thankful for this year. We enjoyed a day with more of us in one place than there has been for a holiday in a very long time. We missed those that weren't able to be there, but had a wonderful time with those that were. It was so nice to have Dean's sister and his parents with us for a few days, especially since Dean was in China.

We started the day out at Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Hoekstra's condo. Grandma wanted to do the majority of the cooking this year and everything was delicious.

Haley, Isabelle, Kate, Logan, Isaac and Silas hanging out at the "kid's table".

Kate enjoying time with her Papa.

Grandpa and Grandma showing Tim and Andrea some amazing handmade candles they have at their house.

Silas and Neena deep in conversation.

Kate wanted a quilt like Aunt Andrea. :)

Only way to eat pumpkin pie in my opinion. :)

These boys have loved the time they have been able to spend together over the last few months.

Isabelle looks for any chance she can to sit on Great Grandpa's lap and chat.

She loves being the baby of the family. Silly girl!

We ended the day with leftovers at the condo that the kids and I have been staying in for the last few months. We managed to fit lots of bodies in and loved having Steph and the kids join us.

Love him and absolutely love his shirt.

Legos always make it into the pictures with our boys around.

This Calvin and Hobbes book made the rounds on Thanksgiving Day. Isabelle, Haley and Dad Seiler were all enjoying it. So funny! It is Isaac's latest favorite to read.

Hmmm...trouble maker!!

Thanksgiving evening "picnic".

Goofy faces are so much more fun than the nice smiles Aunt Jen is asking for!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to be around even one or two of your loved ones. I know that this Thanksgiving will be one our family will remember for years to come!!
